You might be feeling anxious, low, stuck, or facing the same struggles in relationships. Often, we don’t know why these feelings arise or why they keep returning. At our core, we all long for love and belonging, and when those needs go unmet, it can impact our wellbeing. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore what’s beneath the surface. Together, we can make sense of past experiences, uncover patterns, and begin to create meaningful change.

Counselling is my passion and I look to provide a safe, private space for you to be heard when no one else is listening.

Bridget is a warm, compassionate and highly experienced counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a supportive space for adults and adolescents to explore life’s challenges. At the heart of her practice lies deep listening and creating a space where you feel truly understood.

Life can feel complicated. We all have ups and downs, but sometimes challenges become overwhelming or hard to manage alone. On the outside we may seem “fine,” yet inside feel anxious, low, or disconnected. Counselling can help you pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening.
I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s troubling you — whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family difficulties, or bereavement. Together we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace.

Starting therapy can be daunting so it’s important that you identify a therapist and an approach to working that feels right for you. As an art psychotherapist, I am open, honest and inclusive with considerable experience supporting children, adolescents and young adults in schools and community settings. My approach to working is psychodynamic - I’m interested in how past events may have affected you, both consciously and unconsciously, influencing the way you think, feel and behave. Should talking about your experiences be too difficult, I may encourage you to try different creative techniques as an alternate means of expression.

Therapy can give us a place to really unmask, unburden and gain some new perspectives. I work collaboratively, so we’ll talk about what helps you and what doesn’t and what you need from therapy - this is different for everyone and is something we can figure out as we go along too.
I primarily use a person-centred approach, offering an authentic, warm, non-judgemental relationship in which you can explore what you’re struggling with. I find that neurodivergent people in particular tend to appreciate the more egalitarian nature of this approach, as do many others who have experienced the impact of social inequalities in their lives.

I help people relate, establish healthy relationships and to be heard. As a systemic, psychodynamic and Relate trained relationship counsellor, I help people with issues individually or as a couple.
