Briony Pereira
Support for stress, anxiety and life change
About Briony
Briony Pereira is a counsellor with NCPS accreditation and four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety and low mood. Briony also supports people dealing with family tensions, sleep problems and life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. Briony aims to make a calm space where a person can say what they’re feeling without judgement. Conversations tend to centre on practical steps and clearer thinking, not jargon.
Background and approach
Her work draws on a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness practices and psychodynamic thinking. These methods help people spot unhelpful patterns, learn coping skills and understand underlying feelings that repeat over time. Briony also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy and hypnotherapy depending on someone’s needs.
She helps clients build skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication and easing social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy operates via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, focuses on spotting helpful and unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness therapy encourages simple attention exercises and breathing practices to reduce rumination and ease stress. It can help with day-to-day coping and calming the nervous system.Briony also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when communication breaks down in relationships. She will work together with each person to choose which approaches fit their needs and goals, and to adapt techniques as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
