Brigitte Stephenson, BACP

Brigitte Stephenson offers an integrative counselling approach that blends attachment work, person-centred listening, and practical strategies. She keeps sessions focused and grounded. Brigitte aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and find clearer ways forward.

With five years' experience, she has worked with adults and young people on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. Her work also covers anxiety, depression, stress, addictions and compassion fatigue. Brigitte supports people dealing with relationship or family problems, body image and eating concerns, and issues that arise around adoption and foster care.

She uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Motivational Interviewing. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting back what she hears, and offering simple, practical steps to try between sessions.

Brigitte pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. She helps people notice patterns, understand triggers, and experiment with different ways of relating. Many sessions focus on problem-solving, emotion regulation and rebuilding trust in relationships.

People who come to Brigitte often want someone who will listen without judging and who will help them make small, meaningful changes. To begin, readers can use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Brigitte’s approaches translate to online work

Brigitte draws on Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when people want to understand trust, closeness and repeating relationship problems. Client-Centred Therapy guides the way she listens - the focus is on reflecting what the person says and following their priorities rather than imposing solutions.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative journey where goals are reviewed and methods are adjusted if needed.

If you are considering online work, check the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quieter setting. Confirm the exact session formats offered when you schedule so you know what to expect.
