Barbora BruffBACP

Barbora Bruff is a counsellor with three years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and offers supportive, down-to-earth care for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Barbora also helps people who are coping with addictions, trauma and compassion fatigue from high-pressure work settings.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the way she works to each person. Sessions are conversational and practical. Barbora focuses on clear steps you can try between meetings, and on building skills to manage difficult feelings and urges.

Her background includes time in critical care environments, which shapes how she understands compassion fatigue and burnout. That experience also informs her approach to people facing life transitions such as pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, or serious health concerns like cancer and hospice care.

Barbora supports people dealing with issues around attachment, body image, fertility, guilt and shame, and process addictions including gambling or compulsive behaviours. She offers help for those navigating midlife change, ageing concerns, life-purpose questions and the emotional strain of end-of-life situations.

Sessions are offered in English and Slovak, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Barbora uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and addiction. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing strong emotions and urges, teaching breathing, grounding and simple behavioural steps to reduce distress. Another approach emphasises understanding patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people notice repeated reactions and try new ways of connecting or coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Barbora will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Many clients find online therapy fits into busy lives because it can reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work or caregiving. If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. The practical aim is the same - to build skills, review progress and adapt plans so therapy fits into everyday routines rather than disrupting them.
