About Brigitte
Brigitte Buss helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief and the effects of trauma. She supports those coping with low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue and life changes. She also works with intimacy-related concerns and a range of family and communication problems.
Brigitte speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on the problems people bring. She approaches therapy as a partnership, treating clients as the experts in their lives while offering tools and steady support.
How Brigitte works
Her tone is encouraging but realistic, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Brigitte is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has around four years of professional experience and has worked mainly in independent practice.
That practical background informs a straightforward way of working that balances listening with helping people try new strategies. Common issues she addresses include abandonment, attachment concerns, communication and control difficulties, codependency, blended family tensions, and challenges linked to divorce or fatherhood. She also supports people affected by natural or human-caused disasters and those dealing with emptiness or family of origin problems.
Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and finding ways to manage upsetting memories or ongoing stress. Brigitte encourages small, steady steps so change feels possible. If someone wants to explore how therapy might help, she guides them through practical next steps to get started.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Brigitte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people manage upsetting memories and the emotional impact of trauma by working through thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable. Another approach emphasises building coping skills and improving day-to-day functioning through short, practical strategies for stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit the client's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging options suit brief exchanges or ongoing written reflections. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
