About Barbora
Barbora Bruff is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue from clinical work. Barbora communicates in English and Slovak and accepts international clients.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on clear steps and practical coping strategies rather than abstract theory. Barbora adapts her conversations to each person's concerns and pace.
Her experience includes supporting people affected by the demands of critical care settings, which informs how she approaches compassion fatigue and burnout. She also addresses life transitions such as midlife change, fertility and pregnancy concerns, adjustment during serious illness, and questions about life purpose.
Barbora works with matters linked to attachment, body image, grief at end of life, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise and pornography use. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and the emotional impact of being a first responder.
Sessions aim to identify manageable goals and build routines that fit daily life. Barbora asks about existing supports and practical barriers, and she develops a plan a person can try between meetings. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Evidence-based approaches for online working
This counsellor uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying specific problems and practical steps to address them. For example, problem-focused therapy helps break large worries into small, testable actions and is often used for stress and anxiety. Brief behavioural strategies target unhelpful patterns such as avoidance or compulsive behaviours and can be useful for addictions and low mood.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process includes reviewing what helps in everyday life and adjusting the plan over time.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk-based work translates well to remote meetings, and the counsellor will help match the length and rhythm of sessions to practical commitments.
