About Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP
Brenda Clarke-Wills offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore their emotions and life circumstances with care and clarity. She supports each person’s ability to notice their intentions and personal wisdom, guiding them toward greater self-awareness and a healthier sense of self. By helping clients look at the roots of recurring patterns and emotional responses, she works alongside them to build resilience, self-regulation, and emotional healing that can lead to meaningful and lasting change.
Her practice is integrative and tailored to the individual, drawing on a range of clinically informed approaches to suit different needs and preferences. Brenda uses attachment-based perspectives and psychodynamic work to explore origins of difficulty, alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to develop practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also includes methods such as dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness, the Gottman Method for relationship work, solution-focused strategies, somatic approaches, and trauma-focused work as appropriate.
With three years of experience that includes training and volunteering, Brenda applies person-centred principles to maintain a client-led therapeutic relationship that prioritises the client’s goals. Her background includes a BSc (Hons) - a Bachelor of Science with Honours - and she is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem, and addresses related issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiving stress, codependency, body image, trauma, and life transitions.
Brenda recognises that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and she invites prospective clients to ask questions to determine fit. She aims to respond openly and promptly to enquiries so individuals can decide whether her approach feels right for them.

Individuals can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life or to access support from different locations.
