About Brigitte
Brigitte Stephenson uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as a core part of her work with adults. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard. Brigitte explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions.
She combines approaches so conversations stay grounded and useful. Brigitte draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings now. She also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person, and cognitive behavioural tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Brigitte has five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She has helped clients who are coping with trauma, grief, parenting strains, eating concerns and addiction-related problems. Other areas she works with include self-esteem, relationship and family issues, compassion fatigue and feelings of emptiness.
Her practice also covers matters such as adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation and problems linked to immigration or end-of-life care. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and practical ways to manage daily life. Brigitte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers appointments in the United Kingdom and supports people who live outside the UK. Sessions are available via video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Brigitte commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions, and to change unhelpful interaction patterns. EFT can be useful for people stuck in repeating cycles of hurt or disconnection. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences influence present feelings and behaviour, which helps people understand why certain situations feel triggering.Client-Centred Therapy is another part of her online work, which means sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and paced to suit their comfort. Brigitte approaches planning collaboratively and will discuss which approach or mix of approaches fits best for a person’s needs and goals. Together they decide what to try and how to measure progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to use audio. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
