About Bridget
Bridget Donkin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with ten years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions and ADHD. Bridget also addresses issues such as self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and career-related stress.
She uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and responding to each person as they describe their situation. That approach is complemented by emotionally-focused ideas, existential thinking, mindfulness practice and narrative work to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters to the individual.
Bridget draws on a range of methods depending on a person’s needs. Mindfulness exercises are offered to support managing anxiety and sleep problems. Narrative techniques help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try different perspectives. Emotionally-focused elements are used when relationship and intimacy concerns are central.
Her background includes work across a wide span of ages and life stages, and she has experience with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and commitment struggles. Bridget also supports people facing long-term health problems, caregiver stress and bereavement.
Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients. Practical matters such as cost vary with location; the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
Approaches that inform online sessions
Bridget draws on person-centred work which means conversations focus on what the client brings and the counsellor reflects back what is important. This helps when someone wants straightforward listening and clarity about their next steps.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings show up in relationships and attachment. That can help when intimacy, rejection or abandonment are part of the concern. Narrative work is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to try alternative perspectives when old patterns cause distress.
Finding the right approach happens together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adjust the mix of methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed promise about technique.
Please confirm which online formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list explicit session types. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, and choose quieter moments in their day. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer conversations that use mindfulness or narrative exercises.
