More about Bruna
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor and a parent-infant therapist (0-5s). I have worked therapeutically in primary and secondary schools and I currently work in the NHS in a team that specializes in offering therapeutic support to parent and infant relationships. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients where all feelings are welcome and can be thought about.
I have experience working short and long term with children and adolescents who needed a space to work through a range of questions or difficulties such as low self-esteem, anxiety, school refusal, gender identity, friendship problems, self-harm, eating difficulties, aggression and self-destructive behaviour.
Parent infant sessions offer parents an opportunity to reflect about their relationship with their baby or young child. This reflective space encourages parents to look at their child's behaviours as attempts to communicate something they cannot quite put into words yet. Together we can also think about parenting strategies to help you navigate family life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
