Bernadette Small, NCPS

Bernadette Small is a United Kingdom credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience, including time as a supervised student and as a qualified practitioner. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, motivation issues, and executive coaching needs, and she brings that experience to both therapeutic and workplace coaching contexts.

Bernadette holds an NCPS credential, a mark of professional qualification and registration in the United Kingdom. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and is shaped by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to the individual, recognising that healing is a personal journey and that each person follows a distinctive path toward greater wellbeing.

Clients can expect a collaborative working style in which Bernadette supports and empowers them to take the steps that feel right for their life. She also focuses on related areas such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication and family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, self-love, and workplace challenges. Her blend of therapeutic care and professional coaching aims to help people move toward more fulfilling, sustainable change.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy and Coaching

Bernadette applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues a person brings. For trauma and grief she uses trauma-informed, supportive approaches that help people process painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable and reduce the emotional impact of past events. For stress, anxiety, self-esteem and workplace concerns she employs skills-focused, coaching-oriented work that builds practical strategies for coping, communication, goal setting, and confidence so people can function better in daily life and at work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bernadette works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, explore preferences, and adapt techniques so the plan aligns with the client’s needs and values. That shared decision making helps ensure the work feels relevant and sustainable.

Online therapy with Bernadette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the approach to each individual.
