About Clarinda
Clarinda Burns is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who keeps the client at the centre of each session. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or low in mood. Her style aims to make therapy feel less daunting and more manageable for a busy parent reading on a phone.
She often helps people make sense of grief, trauma, addictions and relationship worries.
Background and approach
Clarinda also supports those dealing with sleep or eating problems, parenting stress, anger and changes at work or home. Sessions focus on the issues you bring and on small steps that can make daily life easier. Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools.
That mix is used to explore how past patterns affect present behaviour and to try new ways of coping. The work is paced to suit each person and aims to build understanding and practical strategies. Clarinda aims to offer clear structure while keeping sessions personal.
She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests different ways of responding. The goal is greater confidence, clearer choices and steadier moods over time. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair needs to approach and schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use gentle conversation to notice those patterns and try different ways of connecting and responding. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person’s priorities, helping a client feel heard and understood through video or messaging. Cognitive behavioural work identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests practical changes; it often involves simple exercises to try between sessions to improve mood or sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and techniques are most useful for the issues you bring. That choice is revisited as progress is made and priorities change.
Online formats offer practical benefits for parents and busy people. Video calls let you see facial cues and share a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins, brief reflections and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use therapy in the rhythms of daily life.
