About Barbora
BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience, Barbora Bruff helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. She has worked in critical care settings and offers support for trauma, abuse and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and Slovak, and international clients are accepted.
Barbora uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and work through presenting problems. She focuses on practical steps clients can take between meetings, and on skills for managing strong emotions and distressing memories. When addiction is involved, she addresses both behaviour patterns and underlying feelings that drive compulsive actions.
Her experience in critical care informs work with compassion fatigue and end-of-life concerns. That background shapes how she talks about guilt, loss and burnout in straightforward terms. She also has additional experience with fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, cancer, ageing and other life-stage issues.
Barbora aims to adapt the conversation and the plan to the person in front of her. She explains options, checks what feels useful, and adjusts the focus as progress is made. Clients can expect clear goals, practical strategies and an emphasis on building coping resources.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Barbora works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and coping strategies. One common strand is structured problem-solving and skills work, which breaks down stressors into manageable steps and teaches techniques for emotion regulation and reducing anxiety. This helps when day-to-day overwhelm or panic interferes with routine tasks.She also uses approaches that address trauma and difficult memories by helping people process distressing experiences in paced sessions. This involves gradual exposure to difficult material and building tolerance for strong feelings, which supports recovery from abuse and traumatic events.
Finding the right way to work is collaborative. Barbora will discuss different methods, check what feels helpful, and adjust plans based on each person's goals and preferences. She views the choice of approach as something to test and refine together rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera for some meetings. Practical arrangements such as time zones and language should be agreed when scheduling.
