About Barbora

Barbora Bruff helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and compassion fatigue using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.

She has worked in critical care settings, where she supported colleagues and patients through high-pressure situations. That background informs her approach to compassion fatigue and first responder issues. She also helps people who are coping with bereavement, end-of-life concerns, cancer, fertility and pregnancy-related distress.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clear discussion. She aims to understand what you are finding difficult, then works with you to try different ways of managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Conversations are direct and grounded in methods that have evidence behind them.

Barbora also supports people struggling with attachment issues, body image, guilt and shame, life purpose and midlife transition. She has experience with process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography related difficulties, and with self-harm concerns.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques mean using methods shown to help with common problems. For example, approaches that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour help with anxiety and depression by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving. Trauma-informed approaches involve careful, paced work on past distress and build ways to manage strong emotions and flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree on a plan together. This is a collaborative process and may involve trying different methods to see what helps most.

The practical benefits of remote counselling can include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote appointments that aim to make it simpler to attend without adding travel time or disrupting the day.
