Briony Pereira, NCPS

Briony Pereira is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, depression and sleeping problems. Briony also focuses on communication problems, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and social anxiety.

She works in a straightforward way and encourages honest talk. Sessions look at current difficulties and practical ways to cope. Techniques are drawn from approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic work.

Briony pays attention to patterns in thinking and behaviour that maintain distress. She uses simple exercises and reflections to try new ways of responding. Conversations can include skills practice for anxiety, strategies for better sleep, and steps to build confidence.

People often come wanting clearer communication at home or relief from low mood. Briony helps people break problems into manageable parts and plan small changes. She is willing to discuss whether short-term focused work or longer conversations will suit the issue.

Sessions are practical and conversational rather than textbook driven. She asks about what has helped before and what feels possible now. The aim is to help clients try things between sessions and notice what changes.
