About Clarinda

Clarinda Burns is a counsellor who uses a clear, client-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and grief. She brings 14 years of experience and places the person at the centre of each session. Sessions aim to feel comfortable and straightforward so people can speak about what matters to them.

She creates a calm space for clients to talk through what brought them to counselling. Clarinda balances structure with listening so people get time to understand patterns and make practical changes.

Background and approach

She welcomes conversations about trauma, childhood issues, relationships and intimacy-related worries. Clarinda combines several approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings.

She uses client-centred ways of listening and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot and test unhelpful thinking. Psychodynamic ideas are used when it helps to uncover repeated patterns. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as understanding difficult emotions.

Clarinda works to help people feel more in control, make clearer decisions and build self-esteem. She will be honest about what can be achieved in a set period and will adapt the work to fit each person’s needs.

Based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she offers therapy to English-speaking clients including those outside the UK. Therapy can be scheduled to suit different timeframes and life demands.

How Clarinda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Clarinda uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to help people understand patterns from past relationships and feel heard in the moment. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier bonds affect current trust and closeness, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Her client-centred approach means sessions begin with open listening and follow what the person feels is most important. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used alongside this to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit the client best. This makes the process collaborative and flexible as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel and choosing quieter surroundings. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. Registered professionals and therapists provide these formats so people can pick what fits their life.
