About Briony
Briony Pereira is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without feeling judged.
Briony helps people who are struggling with family issues, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also works with those facing sleeping problems, social anxiety, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be a calm space to sort through immediate worries and set small, manageable goals. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and behaviour.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress and sleep. Other methods she may incorporate include Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas depending on what fits. Briony aims for a warm, non-judgemental style and encourages practical steps between meetings.
She often works on clearer communication and building self-compassion in small, steady ways. The emphasis is on helping people feel more capable in day-to-day life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Briony works online
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises. These methods can ease stress, improve sleep and help with being less reactive to difficult emotions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for people who need steady tools to cope during stressful times.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. It is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offer this flexibility so you can choose what works best for your routine and goals.
