About Barbora

Barbora Bruff is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those coping with addictions and trauma. She also brings experience of compassion fatigue from years working in critical care settings.

Barbora aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her style is direct but warm, helping people take practical steps when they feel stuck.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and then works alongside the person to set small, achievable goals. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those conversations and to build tools for everyday life. This might include ways to manage moments of high stress or to break patterns that feed anxiety and depression.

Barbora has supported people affected by a wide range of life challenges, including issues around ageing, body image, cancer, fertility and bereavement. She also offers help with attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and difficulties that follow childbirth and postpartum depression.

Sessions are offered in English and Slovak, and she can work with international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to therapist availability and the platform's booking process.

How Barbora uses evidence-based techniques online

Barbora draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions in straightforward ways. One commonly used approach involves practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety, such as learning simple breathing and grounding exercises and testing small behaviour changes. Another approach focuses on understanding patterns that keep problems going, helping people spot triggers and try different responses to reduce depression and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Barbora listens to goals and everyday challenges, then suggests methods that fit the person and their life. She adapts the plan over time, checking in to see what helps and what needs to change so the work remains useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-up between meetings. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when they prefer, which can make sessions feel more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you through the practical arrangements and help decide what will work best for you.
