Bridget Barnes Therapy is founded on the belief that meaningful, lasting change happens when expert care is combined with genuine human connection. What began as Bridget’s vision is now a collaborative practice supporting people with anxiety, OCD and related difficulties.
We are a team of therapists united by a shared, evidence-based approach - thoughtful, structured and compassionate. Together, we help you regain a sense of control over your thoughts, emotions and life.
Our Approach to Therapy
At Bridget Barnes Therapy, we draw primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside other evidence-based approaches, carefully tailored to your unique experience and goals. In addition to CBT, we integrate Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) where appropriate. This allows us to adapt therapy to suit not only the difficulties you’re experiencing, but also your personality, history and preferences.

How We Help
No matter how your difficulties show up, whether through persistent worry, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, compulsions or overwhelming self-criticism, our goal is to help you understand what is maintaining these patterns and to develop practical tools, psychological flexibility and emotional resilience that support lasting change.
We focus not only on symptom reduction, but on helping you build confidence, self-trust and a greater sense of freedom in your life.
