Brigitte House, PACFA

Brigitte House is a counsellor who helps people strengthen wellbeing and face life changes. She uses a warm, relationship-centred approach to help clients feel more connected to themselves and clearer about next steps.

Brigitte draws on ten years of psychotherapy and counselling work plus earlier experience in social work and community services. She has worked in agency settings and private practice, and has delivered both in-person and telehealth sessions. Her practice covers stress, anxiety and panic, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns.

Her style is person-centred and trauma informed. Sessions often include somatic work - paying attention to bodily sensations - alongside calm, mindful practices that people can use between meetings. Brigitte also uses process-experiential and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people make sense of inner parts and emotions.

People who come for help may be dealing with attachment issues, fertility and cancer-related concerns, codependency, first responder stresses, or the fallout from divorce and separation. Brigitte also supports people facing family of origin problems, grief, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife transition.

Brigitte is registered with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. Sessions are offered in English and based in Australia. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Brigitte uses therapy approaches online

Brigitte often blends person-centred work with mindfulness and somatic approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps with anxiety, grief and life decision-making. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and movement, helping people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body and learn ways to calm or regulate those responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods over time. This collaborative process means the way sessions proceed can change as needs shift.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to continue sessions during life transitions or when leaving home is difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to check what is offered and what best fits daily routines.
