About Brian
Brian Doherty is a counsellor who works from a Jungian and client-centred perspective. He uses those approaches alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people facing grief, depression, anger and intimacy concerns. He presents a calm, respectful presence and encourages people to make changes at their own pace.
He believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room. Sessions focus on listening carefully, naming patterns that cause pain, and finding practical next steps.
Background and approach
That might look like exploring recurring relationship patterns, talking through loss, or trying simple mindfulness practices between sessions. Brian has ten years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
That background means he is accustomed to supporting people with a wide range of concerns, from chronic illness and caregiving stress to body image and ageing questions. He often helps with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and commitment anxiety. He also supports people dealing with cancer, chronic pain, divorce, or domestic violence-related stress.
Conversations are down-to-earth and paced to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people outside the UK. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online support
How Jungian and Client‑centred work online
Brian combines Jungian therapy with client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people understand recurring life patterns and cope with difficult feelings. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams and life themes to uncover hidden resources and make sense of what keeps repeating. Client-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. Mindfulness offers simple practices to reduce overwhelm and bring attention to the present moment.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasise inner exploration with Jungian ideas, reflective listening, or practical mindfulness exercises based on what the person needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and noticing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels safer. These options make it easier to attend therapy from different locations and at different times.
