About Bridget
Bridget O'Toole is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and workplace burnout. Bridget takes a person-centred approach and aims to make sessions feel comfortable and practical for each client.
She supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, addictive behaviours, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She also helps with issues related to neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism spectrum differences.
Background and approach
Bridget addresses career questions, eating difficulties and body image in straightforward, goal-focused conversations. Bridget uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Narrative approaches. In practice this means she focuses on emotions in the room, listens without judgement and helps clients tell and reframe their stories.
Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to work on and move towards. Her background includes work with stress, compassion fatigue and complex trauma responses such as post-traumatic stress. Bridget also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiving strain and isolation.
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when these affect daily life. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Bridget asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so she can tailor the first sessions to individual needs.

How Bridget's Approaches Work Online
Bridget draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand their emotional patterns and how these shape relationships and wellbeing. This approach focuses on naming feelings, tracking what happens in the moment and finding new ways to respond to emotional triggers.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions. Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to open up different possibilities for change.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Bridget will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. She adapts methods as conversations reveal what helps most, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for longer, face-to-face conversations; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
