Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Brigitte uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand emotional bonds, improve trust, and address difficulties stemming from early attachments. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the person's own perspective and pacing - the therapist offers empathic listening and support while the individual leads the exploration, which suits those wanting a gentle, autonomy-focused process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - it is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Brigitte works collaboratively to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and will adapt methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective. The aim is to find a fit that feels respectful and useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to continue work from different locations. These options support continuity of care, make scheduling more manageable, and allow people to access licensed professionals in formats that suit their daily routines.
