About Bernadette
Dr. Bernadette McLarnon is a counsellor with 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and BACP credentials and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue.
She believes people know their own story and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused. She helps clients notice personal resources and practical ways to manage daily challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aim to build clearer thinking, steadier mood and better coping over time. Bernadette also supports people dealing with ADHD, attachment difficulties, autism or Asperger Syndrome, isolation and loneliness. She works with mood disorders, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress as well.
Cultural background and multicultural concerns are part of her practice when relevant to a person's experience. In a first meeting she will listen to what feels most important and help set simple, realistic goals. Work thereafter is adapted to each person, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs to change.
The emphasis is on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions can take different formats and Bernadette will explain options and likely benefits. She aims for clear, respectful communication and for clients to leave sessions with manageable next steps and a clearer sense of direction.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters most and suggest techniques that match a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer a flexible way to access therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions may suit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have ongoing support between longer appointments or to fit conversations around a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and accessible for different lifestyles.
