About Brigitte
Brigitte House helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She offers calm, steady support and aims to help people reconnect with themselves and find more meaning. Her manner is practical and warm, suited to someone who needs a clear, human way forward.
Brigitte came to psychotherapy after many years in the community services sector. She has ten years of experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist, on top of earlier social work roles. Her work has included both agency settings and private practice, and she has provided face-to-face and telehealth sessions.
Her approach is person-centred, meaning conversations are shaped mainly around what matters to the client. She also uses trauma-informed and somatic methods to respond to stress held in the body, and draws on mindfulness practices for grounding. Relationship is central to her way of working; Brigitte emphasises listening, safety and gradual change.
People consult her for a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, panic and anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship problems. She also supports people facing life transitions such as separation, fertility struggles, midlife questions and coping after disasters.
Brigitte holds PACFA credentialing and works in Australia. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How her person-centred and body-focused methods work online
Brigitte uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's priorities at the centre of each session. This means conversations are shaped around what the person wants to explore, with the therapist following the client's pace and lead.She also draws on somatic therapy to notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. Somatic work helps people recognise bodily responses and learn gentle ways to regulate sensations and tension. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside this to build simple attention and grounding skills for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Brigitte will work collaboratively to choose exercises and ways of working that fit each person's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method. The plan can change as progress unfolds.
The biography records past use of telehealth alongside face-to-face work, but current online session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins and suit people who prefer not to travel to an appointment. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your routine and goals.
