Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Challenges
Brigitte draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships shape emotional patterns and interpersonal reactions; this approach can be useful for attachment issues, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s own priorities and insights guide the work - this helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and emotional exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool in her practice, offering practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Brigitte works together with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the focus as the relationship and therapeutic work develop. This shared decision-making helps ensure the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy with Brigitte is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, when travelling, or across time zones, while allowing for varied session styles depending on what suits the client best.
