About Clarinda
Clarinda Burns is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and 14 years of practice. She offers a calm, client-focused space where people can talk about what brought them to therapy and begin to make sense of their concerns.
She keeps the conversation centred on the person in front of her and aims to make sessions as comfortable as possible. That includes helping people feel steadier when starting therapy and gently working through fears about opening up. Clarinda values autonomy and encourages people to make choices that feel right for them.
Her work covers common difficulties such as stress, anxiety and depression, as well as grief, addictions and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, eating concerns, anger and self-esteem problems. Sleeping and career worries are among the practical issues she addresses too.
Clarinda uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas to offer focus and structure. Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, try manageable changes and build safer ways of coping.
People new to counselling are invited to take things at their own pace. Clarinda discusses realistic goals and timeframes and is straightforward about what can be achieved in the time available. She works with people from different backgrounds and accepts international clients who speak English.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Clarinda combines Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas with Cognitive Behavioural techniques to shape online work. Attachment-Based approaches focus on patterns in relationships and how past bonds affect current feelings and reactions, which can help with anxiety and relationship worries. Client-Centred work prioritises the individual's experience and pace, offering a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns, often suited to stress, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will ask about goals, what has helped before and what does not suit you, then adapt methods as the work progresses. That collaborative process helps shape clear, manageable goals for each session.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy lives, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Clarinda aims to arrange sessions so they can be more easily scheduled around work, family or sleep routines while still keeping the focus on making steady progress.
