About Brigitte

Brigitte Stephenson is a counsellor who works with adults on trauma, anxiety and stress. She uses an integrative approach to help people tackle difficult issues. Brigitte aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them.

She draws on several approaches to match the needs of each person. That can include Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm keeps affecting day-to-day life. It can also include Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationships and how they shape feelings.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) are used to help with thoughts and emotions in practical ways. Brigitte has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has supported people coping with grief, parenting strain, addiction, low self-esteem and depression, among other concerns.

She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, body image, dissociation and immigration challenges. Sessions focus on the client's goals and what they want to change. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

Brigitte helps people develop clearer thinking, steadier emotions and new coping options. If someone is unsure where to start, she suggests a short assessment to set priorities and agree a plan. That first step helps make the rest of therapy more practical and focused.

Approach-led online counselling that fits your life

Brigitte uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to gently address memories and reactions linked to past harm, helping people reduce distress and build safer ways of coping. Attachment-Based Therapy is also a key part of her work, which looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour and supports healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brigitte will discuss options and adapt methods based on a client's goals, history and preferences. That collaborative planning helps decide whether trauma-focused techniques, attachment work or other methods are best for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to access. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
