About Clarinda
Clarinda Burns is a counsellor with 14 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety and related concerns, and she keeps the client at the centre of every session. Her approach aims to make starting therapy less daunting and more approachable for worried parents and individuals.
Clarinda creates a calm space where people can talk through what brought them to counselling. Sessions are for the client only and she emphasises respect for each person's pace.
Background and approach
She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make decisions that suit them. She uses practical structure alongside open exploration. That combination helps people understand patterns that affect their mood, relationships and behaviour.
Clarinda draws on approaches that look at how early relationships shape current feelings and how thoughts influence actions. Common issues she works with include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and bereavement, low mood and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people with eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, anger and self-esteem struggles.
Clarinda can discuss career worries and coping with life changes too. Sessions aim to build insight and practical steps. Clarinda offers focused work when time is limited, and longer-term support when people want to dig deeper.
Her goal is to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control of their next steps.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger anxiety or conflict, and supports building more reliable ways of relating to others.Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which can help people who find it hard to speak about sensitive topics.
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavioural changes, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Clarinda will talk through options and help decide what fits best with a client's goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can evolve as the relationship develops.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in and text-based messaging works for people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and help clients access support in ways that suit their routines and comfort.
