About Clarinda
Clarinda Burns is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 14 years of experience. She offers a calm, focused space where the client is placed at the centre of the work. Sessions aim to help people talk about what brought them to counselling and to feel safer as they explore difficult topics.
Clarinda has worked with a wide range of concerns including bereavement, addictions and trauma. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Her approach adapts to the person in the room rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions she balances structure and flexibility. That means setting clear aims while leaving room to follow whatever matters most to the client in the moment.
Clarinda helps people develop a deeper understanding of their feelings and patterns so they can make choices that feel right for them. She aims to reduce the fear and uncertainty that can come with starting therapy. Many people find that steady support helps them feel more grounded and better able to cope with life changes.
Clarinda encourages autonomy so individuals feel more confident about decisions and next steps. Practical arrangements are discussed openly, including the likely pace and what can reasonably be worked on in different timeframes. This upfront honesty is intended to help people feel in control of their therapeutic journey.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clarinda will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful, so the work stays relevant to your needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different routines. Video works well for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
