Barbora Bruff, BACP

Barbora uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach she commonly uses helps people break down overwhelming thoughts and feelings into smaller, manageable steps and then practises new ways of responding. This kind of work suits anxiety, stress and low mood where day-to-day coping needs to change.

She also applies approaches aimed at processing traumatic experiences in a paced, contained way so memories feel less disruptive. These methods are helpful for people recovering from abuse or repeated exposure to distressing events. A further strand of her work targets addictive patterns by identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and strengthening relapse prevention skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with you about goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. Decisions about what to try are made together, based on your preferences and what you want to achieve.

Online therapy with Barbora is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful for a full therapeutic conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quicker check-in, and messaging lets you reflect over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or health commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
