About Brigitte
Brigitte Buss is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Brigitte describes the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on building on existing strengths.
Brigitte works in a straightforward, supportive way. She listens first and helps people name what feels hardest. Then she and the person set small, practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be clear and manageable so progress feels real. Her style values courage and self-direction. Brigitte encourages clients to try new ways of coping and to notice what changes help.
She offers calm, consistent support during difficult moments and practical ideas for moving forward. Brigitte has four years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has practised mainly in personal settings and has worked with people dealing with trauma, loss and relationship strain.
People can expect a collaborative process that combines listening with practical steps. Brigitte helps clients explore patterns, improve communication, and cope with intense feelings. The aim is to leave sessions with clearer thinking and actions to try between meetings.
Approaches and how online therapy helps
Brigitte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach she draws on helps people understand and change unhelpful patterns in relationships and behaviour by identifying triggers and testing small changes. This can be useful for communication problems, codependency and commitment worries.Another technique she uses concentrates on processing difficult emotions after loss or trauma by creating a safe pace for talking and gradually facing painful memories. That method can support coping with grief, trauma and compassion fatigue without rushing the process.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brigitte will talk through options with each person and adapt methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. She works together with clients to decide what feels most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and travel.
