Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP , BACP

Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP offers integrative, client-led therapy designed to help people understand themselves more fully and build practical skills for emotional wellbeing. She provides a non-judgemental space for exploration, supporting each person to connect with their intentions and increase self-awareness. This process helps clients trace how past experiences have shaped current patterns and develop resilience, self-regulation, and emotional healing that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

With three years of experience including training and volunteering, Brenda draws on a range of therapeutic methods to match the work to individual needs. Her practice commonly uses psychodynamic ideas to explore origins of long-standing difficulties, cognitive behavioural therapy to create tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and person-centred principles to keep the relationship focused on the client. She adapts an integrative approach so that the methods fit each person’s circumstances and preferences.

Brenda works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns, and she also addresses complex themes including abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, and trauma-related challenges. She aims to help people shift negative dynamics, strengthen emotional intelligence, set compassionate boundaries, and access inner resources for growth. Brenda holds a BSc (Hons) in psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She welcomes questions from prospective clients to help determine whether her approach is the right fit.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and connection

Brenda uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion. This approach helps people understand attachment needs, improve closeness in relationships, and address fears of abandonment or disconnection.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills for changing thought patterns and building new coping habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brenda works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and together they decide which methods are most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Brenda can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care from different locations, while allowing therapists and clients to tailor frequency and format to what works best for the individual.
