About Brenda

Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP offers talk-based support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or grief. She names jealousy among the issues she can help with and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most to you.

Brenda works in a straightforward, person-led way. She encourages clients to find their own insights while offering practical tools to manage thoughts and behaviour. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, learning emotional regulation skills and building resilience for day-to-day life.

Her approach combines looking at early patterns and their effects with practical strategies. That means exploring how past relationships shape current feelings, then trying simple techniques to change unhelpful thinking and reactions. Mindfulness ideas are used to help people notice emotions and respond rather than react.

Brenda holds a BSc (Hons) and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of experience that includes training and volunteer roles, and she draws on several therapeutic methods to match individual needs.

She invites questions and brief introductions before starting so prospective clients can check fit. Booking begins with the continue button on this profile and a short matching questionnaire, after which sessions can be scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations in current life. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and supports building more helpful patterns in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes to shake up negative cycles. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear tools to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, what feels most useful and how different methods might help, then adapt the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit around life commitments and can shorten travel time and interruptions. If you need to fit therapy into a work break, reduce time spent commuting or prefer a session without being on camera, those practical factors can be discussed when arranging appointments. The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking.
