About Bridget

Bridget Donkin is a BACP member and person-centred counsellor with 10 years of client work across the lifespan. She has supported children, young people, young adults, couples, adults and older clients, drawing on a range of therapeutic tools to meet different needs. Bridget’s practice emphasises a person-centred foundation, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients are invited to explore their experiences and priorities at their own pace.

She integrates creative methods, Gestalt techniques, mindfulness practices and elements of cognitive behavioural work to tailor sessions to each person. This flexible approach has been used with clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and bereavement, stress, trauma and abuse, addictions and eating or sleeping problems. Bridget also works with issues related to identity, intimacy, parenting, career challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue among other concerns.

With a focus on collaboration and practical understanding, she helps people navigate separation, adoption and foster care questions, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness and body image worries. Bridget’s BACP credential refers to membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating adherence to recognised professional standards and ongoing professional development.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-centred therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and support that helps people build self-understanding and confidence. It is often helpful for clients managing stress, low self-esteem and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns within relationships, helping partners or individuals explore how emotions shape connection and conflict. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills to reduce reactivity and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, often complementing other therapeutic work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bridget will work with each person to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, adapting methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for that individual. The aim is to find a fit that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, family life or geographical constraints. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are, supporting continuity of care and timely support when it is needed.
