About Bridget
Bridget O'Toole is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience offering one-to-one support for people facing stress, work burnout and the everyday pressures of life. Bridget works in a straightforward, person-centred way and aims to make each session feel comfortable and manageable.
She adapts sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
That means discussing what matters most to the client, setting small goals, and checking in about what helps between meetings. Many people come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction or coping with life changes. Bridget also has experience supporting people with ADHD, autism and neurodivergence.
Her approach draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people make sense of life changes and questions about meaning. She also uses Client-Centred techniques to prioritise the client's perspective and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to work on strong feelings and attachment-related concerns. Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas may be used to rewrite unhelpful stories and try practical steps forward.
Sessions are offered in English and take place using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Bridget works with adults who prefer a conversational, collaborative style and who want practical ways to manage stress, relationships and identity concerns. Starting therapy can feel daunting and Bridget aims to move at a pace the client can cope with.
She encourages clear communication about goals and adjusts the plan as needs change.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice and the big changes in life. It can help when someone feels stuck, questions life direction, or is dealing with loss and major transitions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience in the room. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the person's lead to build trust and clarity.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to strong emotions and how they shape relationships. It can be useful when someone wants to better understand and manage intense feelings or attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridget will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving and other commitments.
