About Brenda
Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and depression. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard right now. Brenda encourages self-awareness and practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
She has three years of experience including training and volunteering. Brenda uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She often looks at where difficult patterns began and what keeps them going today. In sessions she helps people recognise unhelpful thinking and build skills to manage strong emotions. She also works on relationships and communication, drawing on methods that focus on how people connect and relate.
The aim is to find realistic ways to feel steadier and more in control. Brenda values a client-led style. That means she follows the person’s pace and priorities while offering tools and perspectives when useful.
People can expect practical suggestions as well as space to reflect and understand themselves better. She accepts people across the United Kingdom and internationally and holds the BACP credential. Sessions are provided in English and can take place online or by phone, chat or messaging to suit different schedules.
Approaches to anxiety and online support
Brenda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can help with anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and patterns, which can be useful for relationship worries and feelings of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods together. Sessions are collaborative - she listens to what matters to you and offers tools and ideas that match your needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions and live chat can fit into a short break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care around work and daily life while trying different ways of working with anxiety and relationships.
