About Barbora
Barbora Bruff works from a practical, person-centred stance that puts the client's experience first. She draws on three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. Barbora writes in plain terms and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Her background includes work in critical care settings, which shaped her understanding of compassion fatigue and the strain that high-pressure roles can create.
Background and approach
She offers gentle, respectful support and adapts conversations to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can use between meetings. Barbora also addresses trauma and abuse, and she helps people dealing with guilt, shame and life transitions like midlife change or adjusting to illness.
She has additional experience with issues around pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and end-of-life care for those facing hospice or bereavement concerns. She can talk about process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography, and supports people managing first responder stresses, fertility and cancer-related worries. Barbora works with multicultural concerns and attachment difficulties in straightforward, respectful language.
Barbora is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English and Slovak and accepts international clients. To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and arranges sessions according to Barbora's availability.

How Barbora works online
Another useful approach addresses trauma through stabilisation and pacing. It begins with safety and grounding techniques, then moves gradually toward processing difficult memories when the person feels ready. This can help those affected by abuse or critical incident stress to regain a sense of control.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then tailor the way sessions proceed. Clients and therapist review progress together and make changes if something does not fit.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Barbora currently offers before booking. Many people find remote work helps them fit therapy into busy lives, for example by saving travel time or making it easier to schedule short check-ins. Online sessions can suit quieter days, phone-friendly check-ins when bandwidth is low, or longer conversations when more time is available. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the practical setup to match each person's needs and daily routine.
