Addressing the patterns that hold you back - so you can have the life you desire

It is my passion to support you to explore and develop a greater understanding and acceptance of yourself so you can live with more ease, joy and resilience.

Through our therapeutic relationship you will learn how you are shaping your life and being shaped by the environment around you. 

This growing awareness will have a powerful impact on how you do your life as you will be more conscious of how patterns and behaviours play out in your life and create space for growth, allowing you to live a more fulfilling and rich life.

LEARN ABOUT GESTALT THERAPY
  • “Working with Biannka has been one of the biggest things that has genuinely provided some real change around behaviours, patterns and emotions which is a testament to Biannka and her work. Biannka is incredibly warm, compassionate and grounding. She provides and holds a really safe space to explore all the issues and emotions without any kind of judgment whatsoever. Biannka is hugely passionate about Gestalt Therapy and this is undoubtedly reflected in her work and her genuine concern for me as her client.”

  • “I cant recommend Biannka enough. She definitely helped me get my life back on track, I was going through a really hard time. With her support and knowledge I have fallen in love with this process and have learned to cope better in all aspects of my life. For this I'm highly grateful and very excited about my future thank you Biannka you are a wonderful.”

  • I’m so glad I reached out to Biannka recently when I was going through a challenging time in my life. She provided such a warm, understanding, safe place for me to gently get to the heart of the difficulties I was going through. In just four sessions, Biannka guided me to reframe some of the ways I understand and relate to myself and to the world. Sometimes this was about small shifts in perception that led to big changes in attitude. Some of the negative self perceptions and issues I’ve struggled against my whole life, Biannka helped me to shift perspective on and now I feel I can engage productively with these instead of fighting against them. I feel so much more integrated and whole since the work I did with Biannka, and these changes feel deep and lasting.

    Biannka has a beautiful way of working therapeutically, that is non-intrusive yet deeply inquiring and engaged, and very respectful and non-judgmental. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for personal growth or needing support with life issues.

  • From our experience over the past 3 years of seeing Biannka as a couple, Biannka has held such a gentle space for us both, guiding us to recognise what each of us are feeling inside and expressing this in a way that we understand each other better.  We have gained so much insight into the reasons why we respond the way we do in our relationship and how to dissolve these patterns through being more relational with each other.  This has allowed us to hold space in our own home to be open and vulnerable while showing up with compassion for each other. 

    We are so grateful for Biannka, her expertise in couple counselling and the warm, kind and compassionate person she is and brings to each session.  Thank you.

  • My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Biannka Brannigan  for her compassion, insight, and professionalism in helping us navigate through some difficult times in our relationship.

    Biannka provided us both with valuable tools and perspectives that helped us better understand our individual values and the core issues that were creating challenges between us. Through her guidance, we’ve learned to communicate more openly, appreciate each other’s strengths, and grow stronger together.

    We’re grateful for her genuine care and the clarity she’s brought to our journey. We plan to continue investing in her knowledge and support for as long as we can—because investing in the people you love is truly priceless.

  • It took a lot of thought and self-convincing to work up the courage and let go of my pride to go to couple’s therapy.  Looking back on the 3 years working with Biannka by myself and with my partner, it has been the best self-development that I have achieved so far in my life!

    Going has helped me to control and emotionally regulate through difficult conversations and disagreements. This has allowed me to come back and reconnect quicker and more gently.  I am grateful that I chose this path and the outcomes are easily visible within my relationship and with others.

HOW I CAN
HELP YOU

One of the things I love most about psychotherapy is its premise that we are the experts of our own lives. As the therapist, I am present to support you to increase your awareness of how you do life which includes unconscious behaviours, patterns that continue to show up for us and importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.
