Bernadette is fabulous, I feel a real bond of understanding has been achieved with my unique needs and struggles - she is always very open to discussing the current and past, as and when required whilst working towards a goal. I have started referring to her as "The Oracle" or "Sensei" as our sessions are always enjoyable with a suitable balance of humour, guidance and the required. Thank you Bernadette.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

A lovely lady who knows her stuff.
With humour, kindness and gentle calling outs Bernadette is putting me back on track for which I am truly grateful. Thank you.
Bernadette is very empathetic and just in the right amount for me. She offers advice - which I like - and she makes me feel safe if I say what I really feel. I look forward to our catch-ups because I know she’ll offer a good solution to a problem that’s been bothering me in my personal life
Bernadette is extremely helpful. She reassures me, educates me on my emotions, tackles the problems I have day to day and from past experiences. Could not recommend enough x
Bernadette has been a rock for me the last few weeks. She has helped me manage my stress and recover from a burnout. She has listened to my problems and helped me understand how I feel about them and how to manage them better. Thank you so much Bernadette, you are a star!
Bernadette is an amazing person, I’m only 3 sessions in but I already look forward to chatting with her. She makes you feel so important and she has such an uplifting way. Really looking forward to carrying on this journey with her.
The best therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. By far, the most supportive and the first one who understands my needs better than anyone else ever has, especially myself. Cannot recommend Bernadette highly enough, she has saved and rebuilt me slowly during a very dark period of my life.
Bernadette is fantastic and really understand me already.
Bernadette has been a huge support and I have learned so much about myself. I would 100% recommend her.
Bernadette is a great listener but also likes to help me tackle problems.
Bernadette is the ideal therapist match for me, with integrity and honesty I know I can depend on hearing the truth even though at times it may really make me think. I appreciate that she challenges some of my ways of thinking that really no longer serve me and whether the session contains tears, laughter or both I always come away feeling so much better Her way of working engages me and she has helped unlock many doors but always leaving them open for me to choose when is right to open them. I value and appreciate her immensely and hope she knows what a huge difference our sessions have made in all aspects of my life.
I can definitely say I have benefited from my sessions with Bernadette. She has helped to open my eyes on things I didn’t realise were influencing factors in my life which were causing me unnecessary anxiety. The sessions have given me useful topics to discuss with my partner so we can continue to support each other through stressful times.
