About Bernadette
Bernadette Eze is an AASW social worker with 14 years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and stress. Bernadette aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters to the client right now. She listens, asks practical questions and helps people find small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
Background and approach
Bernadette draws on several approaches, including existential ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment work. She uses these tools to help people clarify values, process losses and rebuild connection with themselves and others. Conversations are guided by the client’s goals rather than a rigid method.
She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and intimacy-related issues, plus concerns linked to adoption, ageing, caregiving and health challenges. Bernadette pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people experiment with different responses. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo.
Bernadette works with practical steps and reflective discussion so clients leave with clearer thinking and doable actions. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she offers steady support through the process.

Online support
How Bernadette’s Approaches Work Online
Bernadette commonly uses Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online sessions. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and acceptance; it helps people facing grief, life changes and questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while committing to value-led action, which suits anxiety, depression and motivation problems.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current behaviour and connection. That approach helps when intimacy, abandonment or communication issues are central to someone’s concerns. Matching the right method is collaborative - Bernadette will talk with each person about their goals and try different ways of working until they find what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works well for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping focus on practical change.
