Welcome to Brí Counselling and Psychotherapy. Our sole purpose is to create a compassionate space for you to explore and get to know yourself through individual therapy in a way that is meaningful for you. We also offer online therapy options to ensure you have access to the support you need.
We provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore and understand yourself through individual therapy, express what’s going on, and work through your challenges together at your own pace.

Coping Skills – Learning practical tools to manage difficult emotions, stress, and challenging situations.

| Therapeutic Approach |
This quote by Carl Rogers captures how we approach our work with clients: in a person-centred way, recognising that every individual is unique.
At Brí Counselling and Psychotherapy, empathy is at the heart of our work and informs our individual therapy sessions. We take a pluralistic approach to therapy, meaning there is no one-size-fits-all method. Instead, we aim to create a therapeutic experience that is tailored to you.
We draw on a range of therapeutic modalities such as:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to you.
Choice Theory
Explores how your choices and behaviours can help you meet your needs and build more fulfilling relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, while developing more helpful patterns.
Pluralistic Therapy
Works collaboratively with you, adapting therapy to your individual needs, goals, and preferences.
Reality Therapy
Focuses on your present choices and actions, aiding you in moving towards the life and relationships you want.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Provides a safe, compassionate approach that recognises the impact of trauma and supports you at your own pace.
Whether through in-person visits or online therapy, we can tailor our sessions to suit your goals, needs, and preferences. Through a collaborative approach we can work together to create a space for you to express yourself freely without judgement, in a way that feels meaningful for you.
