About Bernadette
Bernadette Hall has practised as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for over 13 years. She holds NCPS and has spent much of her career helping people through relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and the pain of grief and loss. She works in a calm, direct style that aims to make difficult conversations easier to have.
She creates a non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening closely, identifying what feels stuck, and testing small changes that can bring relief. The work is practical and paced to suit each person. Her background includes a mix of talking therapies and approaches drawn from Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-focused work.
These approaches inform how she helps people make sense of hard choices, values, and relationships. She also uses cognitive tools when unhelpful thinking gets in the way. People come for help with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction and problems with intimacy and self-esteem.
She also supports parents managing parenting strain, those coping with chronic illness, and people questioning gender or sexual identity. Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. Bernadette helps clients set clear, manageable aims and checks progress regularly.
She encourages practical steps between sessions so changes can be tested in everyday life.

Online support
Approaches that guide online counselling
Bernadette often draws on Existential Therapy to help people tackle big questions about meaning, choice and personal values. This approach helps when someone feels stuck by life transitions, grief, or questions about identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to teach simple skills for noticing thoughts and committing to actions that match a person’s values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and communication, useful for people whose early bonds affect current closeness and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions begin with exploring what the client hopes to change and then testing approaches together, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls behave much like face-to-face meetings and are useful for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people work between sessions and keep in touch more flexibly. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
