Background and approach
Brigitte has spent most of her time in independent practice, focusing on practical steps people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be direct, empathetic and paced to suit each person. Common topics she addresses include coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, family and intimacy-related concerns, and issues around abandonment or attachment.
She also supports people facing depression, problems with communication, and the emotional ripple effects of divorce or blended family arrangements. Brigitte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on building skills to manage symptoms and improve relationships.
She encourages small, achievable changes so progress is clear and steady. People meet her via online formats such as video, phone, live chat or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.

Approaches that guide online counselling
Brigitte draws on evidence-based methods that focus on practical change. One approach emphasises understanding how past hurt and attachment patterns affect current relationships, helping people notice behaviours and try new ways of relating. Another approach teaches clear coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as simple breathing exercises, pacing exposure to difficult feelings and building daily routines that improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brigitte works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as things change. The plan evolves from what matters most to the individual rather than from a fixed protocol.
Online therapy allows the same kinds of work without travelling. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
