About Brigitte
Brigitte House is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She focuses on building a stronger sense of self and practical ways to manage difficult emotions. Brigitte works in a calm, down-to-earth manner that suits people who want clear tools and steady support.
Brigitte brings a decade of hands-on psychotherapy and counselling experience. Before moving into psychotherapy she spent many years in community services and not-for-profit work in social work roles.
Background and approach
Her background includes agency work, independent practice and teaching meditation, and she has worked with people dealing with panic, depression, loss, identity questions and addiction recovery. Her approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on somatic awareness and process-experiential work. In sessions she pays attention to body responses and personal story.
Conversations are practical, paced to the person, and include mindfulness-based exercises and inner parts work when that fits. Brigitte is PACFA registered, and she practices in Australia. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People who choose Brigitte often want a gentle but direct style. She supports clients to notice what they feel, make sense of their reactions, and try new ways of coping.
Therapy aims to increase wellbeing and day-to-day resilience rather than quick fixes.
How somatic and person-centred work translates online
Brigitte draws on somatic therapy to help people notice and work with body sensations linked to stress and trauma. This can include gentle grounding practices and simple body-awareness exercises that support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm.She also uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual’s experience and priorities. Sessions aim to create space for people to be heard and to shape goals that matter to them. Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises to build present-moment awareness and coping skills between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, preferences and goals, and together they decide what methods to try first. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work remains useful and relevant.
Online therapy with Brigitte is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These formats allow flexible scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life. People can choose the method that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
