About Brigitte
Brigitte House helps people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. She focuses on straightforward support for stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief and self-esteem. Her style is calm and relational, aimed at making things feel more manageable day to day.
Brigitte draws on ten years working as a psychotherapist and counsellor, and over two decades in community services and social work before that. She has experience in agency roles and private practice, and has run meditation teaching alongside counselling work. This background shapes a practical approach that values steady connection and clear tools.
Sessions centre on understanding how the body and emotions are linked. Brigitte uses somatic work to help people notice sensations and regulate strong feelings. She also uses Client-Centred methods to follow what matters most to each person, and Trauma-Focused techniques when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
She has worked with a broad range of difficulties including panic, depression, grief, relationship struggles, trauma and addiction recovery. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment issues, fertility and cancer-related concerns, first responder issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Brigitte holds PACFA and practises in Australia. Her language of work is English. People who choose to work with her can expect a calm, respectful space to talk, learn breathing and grounding skills, and explore what helps them feel more resilient.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions and helps people feel heard and understood. It supports issues like relationship stress, low self-esteem and decisions about life direction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm anxiety. These techniques can help with panic, stress and rumination. Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily sensations and movement to help regulate intense feelings and to process trauma in a gradual way.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that suit each person's needs. Adjustments are made together as the work progresses, so the plan stays helpful and practical.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practising grounding and breathing skills at home between sessions. Talk with the therapist during the initial match to decide how best to use online sessions for your situation.
