Bridget Beresford

Presently, I have limited availability but please do enquire if you are interested in working with me.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist working with clients via an online platform. I work, compassionately, supportively, empathetically, and professionally.

I firmly believe that above all else, a quality alliance is the foundation for all therapeutic work. I warmly welcome you and will hold a safe, non-judgemental space for you to be curious, and to explore those areas which are important to you.

I am a member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I abide by their ethical frameworks and hold all relevant professional insurance cover. Additionally, I am Cigna insurance affiliated.

I trained and practise as a person-centred, integrative counsellor utilising various modalities to support individual clients' needs. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional which means I work in a trauma informed way.

I have a First Class Master’s Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am committed to continued professional development, ensuring knowledge and flexibility in the most up-to-date research and interventions. Some of the most recent courses I have completed are working with complex trauma, working with displaced people, mediation for resolution, childhood sexual abuse; the body keeps the score and Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry in Action.

For the past year, I have mainly specialised in trauma work supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence and rape using trauma models, cross cutting and inclusive of gender related issues.

Additionally, I have been working in the support of individuals with a variety of issues, including PTSD, as well as other coping strategies, which have developed into self-harming behaviours, such as the misuse of drugs and alcohol, as well as disordered eating. 

Please contact me for a complimentary 20-minute online session for you to discuss your requirements. If following this time, you decide that you would like to work with me, mutually convenient appointment times will be agreed upon.

Sessions are 50 minutes in duration and usually occur weekly.
