Barbora Bruff

Barbora Bruff is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience and offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns.

Barbora draws on work from critical care settings to help people manage compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of demanding roles. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, and those dealing with issues around body image, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum change.

Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. She listens first, then shapes conversations and a plan that match each person’s priorities. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on small, practical steps as well as understanding what sits behind current struggles.

Barbora works with people facing life transitions such as midlife change, ageing matters and end-of-life concerns. She also offers help with guilt and shame, attachment issues and process addictions like gambling or exercise where these are causing distress.

People may choose to work in English or Slovak. Barbora accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions and recovery

Barbora uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress in everyday life. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This can include learning simple routines, breathing or grounding exercises, and step-by-step behaviour changes that make daily life easier.

Another approach emphasises processing and making sense of difficult experiences such as trauma or loss. This involves talking through what happened, understanding emotional responses, and developing ways to reduce the power those memories have in daily life. It can be helpful for people dealing with abuse, grief, or the emotional effects of demanding jobs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and life situation. Together they will review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote work helpful because it can be easier to fit appointments around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and pacing so online work still focuses on practical change and emotional recovery.
