About Brian
Brian Doherty is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 10 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are facing grief, depression, anger and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns, and relationship challenges such as commitment or communication problems.
Brian approaches therapy from several relational and reflective perspectives. He uses Client-Centred methods to follow what the person brings to sessions and to build clear, respectful conversations. He draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at patterns from the past that keep showing up now. Mindfulness practices are used to help people manage strong emotions and stay present during difficult moments.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete, manageable steps rather than abstract theory. Brian helps people notice recurring patterns, test small changes, and practise different ways of communicating or coping. He talks through grief and loss in practical terms, and works with issues around body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and ageing in similarly direct ways.
People who want to explore what comes next after a life change often find this practical, reflective style useful. Brian accepts international clients and works in English. Fees vary by location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Brian’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. Online sessions can replicate that by keeping the conversation person-led and using questions that slow down difficult topics. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas look at patterns and symbols from a person’s past; in online sessions these approaches are used to notice repeated themes and make links between past and present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brian will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying a few ways of working and reviewing what helps most over the first sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels uncomfortable. These practical benefits often help people maintain regular sessions while managing other commitments.
