About Clarinda

Clarinda Burns is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She combines practical thinking with a warm, steady presence so clients can talk through what matters. Clarinda holds BACP accreditation and brings 14 years of experience to her work in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions keep the client at the centre. She aims to create a calm, contained space where people can say what they need to.

Background and approach

The first conversations focus on what brought someone to counselling and what they want to change. Clarinda draws on several approaches, including attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques. These help people understand patterns, try small changes and rebuild day-to-day coping.

She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper feelings and long-standing issues. She has supported people facing bereavement, eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem and career stress. Clarinda also helps those coping with life changes, grief and depression.

Sessions can move at different paces depending on the person’s needs. Her style is honest and practical. She aims to ground fears about starting counselling and help clients feel more sure of themselves.

Clarinda works to help people build clearer understanding and make changes that feel manageable.

How Clarinda's approaches work online

Clarinda blends attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and connections, and it can be useful for relationship worries and trauma responses. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can relieve anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clarinda treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss your goals, needs and preferences before deciding which methods to use. She adapts sessions over time so the style fits what is actually helping you.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, while still following the chosen therapeutic approach.
