About me

My practice
Bridgette specialises in holding a space for EVERYbody - especially women and teenage girls in bigger bodies. She supports people to make peace with their body, eat intuitively, find joy in movement, and become self-compassionate. With lived experience of navigating the world in a bigger body, Bridgette understands firsthand what it's like to face constant criticism, not feel good enough and to have a body that the world says doesn't belong here.

She works from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective - supporting you to shift the focus off weight and onto health. Bridgette uses an integrated model of counselling, and places strong emphasis on the client-counsellor connection. Part of her focus involves supporting you to better understand society’s structures and how they impact your body story.

Bridgette's style of counselling is kind, curious and authentic. She will be your cheerleader, your confidant and will gently challenge you. Bridgette considers working with you to be a true privilege.
