i have been working with Brunhild for maybe 9 months now. we had a lot to work on at first, which got me to a really good place. we then started working on my deeper issues, how to be myself in a world that scares me. i love the way she can always quieten my mind to get to the core of what's troubling me and then we high-five the screen with every breakthrough I have. she is professional, kind, understanding, non-judgemental and has a wealth of knowledge to help me chose my own "best step forward". mega bonus! She actually remembers everything i have told her so i never have to repeat my story when difficulties arise

Recent reviews
Brunhild was professional and acting towards me in our sessions. She made me feel comfortable and listened to me. She gave me some great advice and tools to carry throughout my daily life. It usually takes me a long time to get comfortable with my therapist but she made me feel safe pretty early on in our sessions. I strongly recommend her. She is kind and expert at what she does.
More about Brunhild
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an Integrative Counsellor who qualified from the University of Leicester and is a member of the BACP. I have a friendly & trustworthy personality and has experience in working with clients with a wide range of issues, including Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement, Trauma, PTSD, Low Confidence, problems arising from childhood etc.. I work with individuals of any gender, sexual or relationship identity and has a keen interest in all areas of diversity. By applying an integrative approach; Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Cogitative Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transitional Analysis (TA), Gestalt etc., I would feel honoured to listen empathetically to your individual concerns.
I offer short term and long term therapy to individuals & understand that if life ‘throws you curve balls’, it is sometimes difficult to stay in control of your emotions & deal with your daily activities. Together with you leading the session & my guidance in a compassionate, non-judgemental environment, you would be given an opportunity to re-discover your true-self. The counselling process could help build on your confidence/resilience etc., understand your thought processes & with the ‘counselling tools' learn how to deal with similar issues in future.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Brunhild was amazing, helped me navigate out of a really sad and insecure moment in my life to a more confident and assertive person. She's a great listener, doesn't push and I love the breathing exercises after the sessions to calm the body and mind.
Brunhild is awesome She makes me feel listened to, understood and respected. She uses many different techniques to suit each challenge and always leaves me feeling positive, hopeful and capable. 100% recommend
Brunhild has the perfect combination of being so comforting and yet can bring me back to the room when I go off on one. She really is 10/10
Professional, calm individual and knowledgeable about the LGBT community which I really appreciated.
I am so thankful to have had such an amazing therapist. Brunhild helped me gain confidence and taught me how to get out of my tough situations. Not only was she a therapist but I felt like every session I was speaking to a friend and I got excited for are talks. Very good listener and a genuine kind person who really cares :) I recommend her to everyone who needs someone to guide them.
Brunhild is amazing at what she does. I always feel comfortable and able to speak about anything I wish. She has been incredibly helpful and her advice has been life changing for me. I completely recommend her to anyone considering therapy.
