About Brigitte Heffernan

In the safe environment and neutral atmosphere of my office you can pay attention to what is most important to you.  This is where you can explore your thoughts with curiosity and without judgment to achieve greater self-awareness and self-mastery.  With increased self-confidence you can open new possibility to an improved emotional, psychological, physical and relational well-being. It is your knowledge together with my professional experience and training that can provide an opportunity for new, alternative, and thoughtful choices to old and automatic actions and beliefs.
