Brigitte House

Brigitte House offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing big life changes. She focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, grief and self-esteem concerns, and she is experienced in working with the emotional fallout of relationship breakdowns including divorce and separation. Brigitte writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person seeking help.

She brings ten years of direct psychotherapy and counselling experience, following earlier work in social work and community services. Brigitte uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions are led by the client's needs and pace. She also draws on somatic practices to help with bodily responses to stress, and trauma-informed methods when past harm is a factor.

In practical terms, Brigitte helps people name what feels overwhelming, slow things down, and try new ways of responding. Sessions may include grounding exercises, mindful attention to difficult feelings, and gently tracking how the body holds tension. She supports people through periods of loss, uncertainty and life transition.

Clients benefit from a reflective, steady presence and an emphasis on connection. Brigitte has experience across agency and private practice settings, and she teaches meditation as part of her work. Her approach is collaborative and aimed at helping people build greater resilience and clarity.

Brigitte holds PACFA credentials. She works in Australia and conducts sessions in English. To confirm current session options before booking, people should follow the site sign-up and scheduling steps.

How Brigitte’s approaches translate to online therapy

Brigitte uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's priorities at the centre of each session. That means conversations follow what feels most important to the person, and the therapist adapts tempo and focus to suit each meeting.

She integrates mindfulness-based practice which teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional steadiness. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, rumination and grief by offering tools to notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed.

Somatic work is also part of her practice and focuses on how the body holds stress. This may include gentle attention to breath, posture or bodily sensations to reduce tension and bring greater calm during difficult moments. Somatic work can support people coping with trauma, panic and long-standing stress patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Brigitte will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable for each person, and then shape sessions around those needs rather than imposing a single method.

Practical benefits of online therapy include saving travel time, easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, and the option of shorter check-ins when that suits. The biography does not list current session formats, so confirm the exact online or face-to-face options available before booking.
