Dr Bernadette McLarnon is a UK counsellor with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue. She starts from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to make change possible.
She helps clients name what feels hard and find realistic next steps. Sessions are collaborative and practical. The aim is to reduce distress and build routines that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Her work also covers attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, loneliness, mood problems, panic and post-traumatic stress. Multicultural issues are part of her practice when culture affects thinking and feeling. Dr McLarnon holds NCPS and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Those credentials sit alongside a career of frontline and therapeutic roles across health and wellbeing settings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Conversations focus on what is relevant now and on small changes that make a difference.
People find this direct, steady approach useful when juggling work, family and everyday pressures.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many of the methods used are evidence-based techniques that focus on current problems and practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic by understanding triggers and practising coping steps. Another approach concentrates on mood regulation and routine building to stabilise mood swings and support those with bipolar symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and daily life, then choose or adapt techniques that fit. Expect an open conversation about what feels helpful and adjustments as work progresses.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is useful. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments and to keep momentum between sessions.
