Alongside her assessment work, Bernadette provides evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as support for families. She draws on a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Schema Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Her experience across both private practice and community services enables her to offer a balanced and thoughtful approach, combining careful clinical formulation with collaborative recommendations and detailed reports.
