About Briony

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems and life changes.

Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways of responding. Briony also works with hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.
In sessions she aims to make conversation straightforward. People talk about current problems, what they do to cope, and small experiments to test new habits. There is time to learn simple strategies for stress, sleep and managing anxious thoughts.
Briony pays attention to communication problems and feelings of isolation. She helps people clarify what matters to them and rebuild confidence step by step. Practical homework and techniques are offered between meetings to reinforce new skills.
Her practice suits people looking for structured, skills-based work and clear tools to manage mood and anxiety. To begin, prospective clients follow the booking steps and complete a short questionnaire before arranging a first session.
How Briony uses structured approaches in online sessions
Briony works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thoughts and habits. CBT sessions focus on practical steps - noticing a thought, testing it, and practising alternatives to change how someone responds to stress or anxiety.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT elements are presented as concrete techniques to manage intense feelings and improve communication. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and help with sleep.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss current problems, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. This can mean mixing CBT tasks, DBT skills and short mindfulness exercises until a good fit is found.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break or reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy or quieter sessions when concentration is limited.
