About Brenda
Brenda Sutcliffe is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, low mood, anxiety and addictions. Brenda focuses on helping clients build confidence and find practical ways to cope with everyday pressures.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Sessions aim to use those strengths to tackle problems such as relationship strain, motivation and self esteem.
Background and approach
Brenda encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable. Her approach adapts to what each person needs. She uses methods drawn from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and motivational interviewing to keep things practical and focused.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit how someone prefers to work. Brenda also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, workplace pressures, isolation and issues around guilt or forgiveness. She offers straightforward guidance for concerns about control, commitment or communication problems.
Where addictions are involved she works on motivation and practical coping strategies. Sessions are available in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Brenda’s practice operates on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed then appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.
How these approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and to explore what matters most to them in their own words. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the person and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter contacts, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility to match style, schedule and practical needs.
