About Bridget
Bridget Donkin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her aim is to help clients find practical ways to feel a little steadier and more able to cope day to day.
Bridget draws on ten years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that keep the person at the centre of the work and help them make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are straightforward and paced to suit each individual. Her practice includes work around mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, addictive behaviours, trauma and abuse, and issues with sleep, eating and self-esteem.
She also supports people dealing with parenting stresses, career uncertainty, communication problems and compassion fatigue. Bridget can help with questions about intimacy, identity and LGBT matters as well. Bridget’s methods include client-centred listening, emotionally-focused ideas for relationships, mindfulness to manage distressing thoughts, narrative ways of re-framing life stories and existential questions about meaning.
These approaches are mixed to match a person’s needs rather than following one fixed path. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Bridget accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries and aims to help people make steady, realistic progress.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Together they review what helps and adjust the focus as things change so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or messaging, which makes it easier to schedule around work, caregiving or travel. Phone or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth, while video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a fuller conversation is needed. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with their daily life.
