About Briony

Briony Pereira is a counsellor who has practised for four years in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She also supports clients dealing with family tensions, low self-esteem, sleep problems and major life changes.

She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Briony works to create an open space where people can say what they’re thinking without judgement.

Background and approach

She encourages small steps that build confidence and clearer thinking. Her style brings together practical techniques and reflective work. She uses cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and learn different responses.

She also draws on hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques to support relaxation and better sleep. Briony uses ideas from dialectical behaviour therapy to teach coping skills for strong emotions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings.

Sessions tend to alternate between talking things through and trying specific strategies to help in daily life. People usually meet by video call, phone, live chat or messaging, whichever fits their routine. She describes starting therapy as a step-by-step process, with the client’s priorities guiding what happens next.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches to change you can use online

Briony commonly blends hypnotherapy with cognitive behavioural techniques. Hypnotherapy is used to guide deeper relaxation and to help shift habits such as poor sleep or persistent worry. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical steps to change them.

She also uses dialectical behaviour therapy skills to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. That approach focuses on clear skills training for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day coping. Together, these methods aim to give both short-term relief and longer-term tools for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the person’s needs. Work is adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are used for fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments.
