About Brigitte
Brigitte House is a PACFA counsellor with ten years of psychotherapy and counselling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and trauma and abuse. She also has a broader focus on family of origin issues and attachment concerns.
Brigitte spent many years in community services and the not-for-profit sector before moving into psychotherapy and teaching meditation. Her background includes social work and a decade in agency and private practice settings. She has worked with a wide range of people facing panic, depression, grief, relationship conflict, addiction recovery and identity questions.
Sessions are conversational and focused on building a stronger connection with yourself. She uses person-centred methods and somatic work to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. Mindfulness practices are introduced where they fit the client’s preferences and goals.
Trauma-focused approaches and Internal Family Systems ideas are used when past experiences or family patterns are getting in the way of daily life. Brigitte pays attention to relational patterns and how family of origin issues can continue to influence choices and emotions.
Her style is direct and practical. People leave with clearer ways to manage anxiety, communicate about difficult issues, and respond differently to old family roles. To start, clients choose an online option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy is about focusing on the person's own experience and pacing sessions around their needs. It helps with relationship problems, low self-esteem and decisions that feel stuck.Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how tension or panic shows up in the body. It can be useful when anxiety or old family roles are felt physically rather than just thought about.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events and repeated patterns affect current reactions. Used carefully, it supports people who find past family dynamics still influencing their feelings and behaviour.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, pace and preferences. That choice can change over time as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can fit into a working day more easily, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss practical arrangements at booking so sessions match everyday routines and the individual's technical needs.
