About Barbora
Barbora Bruff is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing anxiety, stress and depression. She draws on three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Barbora aims to meet each person with respect and compassion and to tailor conversations to their needs.
She has worked in critical care settings and brings that background into supporting those who feel worn down by compassion fatigue. That work exposed her to trauma, addictions and grief, and she uses practical strategies to help people manage difficult feelings and day-to-day pressures.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what the person needs. Barbora listens first, then helps set goals and a clear plan for progress. She focuses on small steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
Barbora also supports people dealing with life changes such as fertility concerns, pregnancy and postpartum issues, ageing matters and end-of-life planning. She pays attention to cultural background and how it affects a person’s experience. Therapy is offered in English and Slovak, and Barbora is available to work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She uses a flexible mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.
How evidence-based methods work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts; this can reduce anxiety and depressive feelings by changing how someone reacts to stress. Another approach focuses on grounding and emotion regulation skills that are useful after trauma or during cravings for addictive behaviours; these give short, concrete actions to use in difficult moments.Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit those needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted so techniques that help most are used more often and others are set aside.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use techniques in real-life moments.
