About Clarinda
Counsellor (BACP), 14 years' experience. Clarinda Burns helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and low mood. She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career decisions and coping with life changes.
Clarinda centres sessions on the client and uses a mix of approaches to suit the person. She draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect, attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts, and psychodynamic thinking to examine deeper life themes.
She describes therapy as a place to talk through what brought someone to counselling and to develop clearer thinking about problems. Sessions aim to introduce focus and structure so people can make practical changes and better decisions. Clarinda emphasises helping clients feel more in control as they work on difficult issues.
Her background includes many years supporting people through bereavement, addictions and trauma, as well as longer-standing mental health struggles. She says she will be honest about what can reasonably be achieved in a given timescale and will plan work around those limits.
People can expect a straightforward, steady approach that balances present-focused techniques with exploration of past patterns. Practical strategies and thoughtful conversation are used together to help people move forward at their own pace.

How Clarinda’s approaches work in online sessions
Clarinda uses client-centred work, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify what matters to them; it suits people who need acceptance and space to speak. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how past bonds affect current behaviour, which can help with intimacy, trust and recurring conflicts. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, mood and practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clarinda will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. She aims to be collaborative and to adapt methods as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also accommodate people living abroad, since she accepts international clients, but do confirm practical session options and timings in advance.
