Barbora Bruff, BACP

Barbora Bruff is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Slovak. Barbora aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to make changes that matter to them.

Her background includes work in critical care settings, which shaped her understanding of compassion fatigue and how chronic stress affects daily life. That experience also informs how she supports people struggling after trauma or abuse, and those coping with process addictions such as gambling or exercise. Midlife concerns and questions about life purpose are among the areas she addresses.

In sessions she tailors conversation and planning to each person's needs. She shares practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings and to build small, realistic steps toward change. The approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive, with attention to what feels useful for the individual.

Barbora holds BACP registration, shown as BACP, and practices in the United Kingdom. She accepts international clients and works with people facing fertility, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, cancer-related issues, ageing and end-of-life concerns, attachment and body-image issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Beginning therapy with her starts with choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to availability. Payment follows a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical, structured ways to relieve symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Examples include approaches that help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and approaches that teach stress-management and grounding skills to reduce intense emotion. These methods can help with anxiety, depression, trauma responses and addictions by giving clear tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Over time they will review what is helping and adapt the plan so it feels useful and manageable.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and medical appointments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from wherever they are living, including international locations. These practical benefits can help people keep up with regular sessions and apply what they learn in everyday life.
