Evidence-based techniques and flexible online sessions

Bernadette applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms. These approaches are useful for issues such as anxiety, stress and low mood because they help people break down problems into manageable steps and build new coping strategies.

She also uses trauma-aware, supportive methods that focus on addressing past difficult experiences and strengthening resilience. These methods aim to help people process emotional material at a comfortable pace while restoring a sense of safety and control in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Bernadette works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences. She treats therapy as a partnership, adjusting methods over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. For many people, remote sessions increase access to regular support and allow them to work with registered professionals from the setting that suits them best.
