About Bernadette
Bernadette Small is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coaching related concerns.
Bernadette offers short, direct conversations that focus on what is happening now and on practical steps forward. She helps people build confidence, manage anxious thoughts, and cope with loss. She also provides workplace coaching aimed at clearer communication and better task management.
Her work includes attention to attachment difficulties and caregiver stress. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose or midlife change. She also addresses post-traumatic stress and self-harm in ways that prioritise day-to-day coping and stability.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, identifying patterns, and trying simple strategies between meetings. Bernadette uses approaches described as evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide these steps. The aim is to find practical, manageable changes rather than long, abstract plans.
She conducts work in English and is based in the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, check the available session formats and scheduling details so they match your needs.

How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Bernadette describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against everyday experience. This helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions.Another approach used in her work targets coping after traumatic events and loss. It involves pacing conversations about difficult memories and building practical ways to manage flashbacks, intrusive thoughts or overwhelming feelings. This method is aimed at stabilising day-to-day functioning and improving sleep and concentration.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and then choose techniques that fit those aims. That choice is reviewed as work progresses so methods can be adjusted collaboratively.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people use a quieter time slot such as a lunch break or an early evening. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief follow-up is helpful, or longer sessions when deeper material needs attention.
