Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP

Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their emotional and psychological experience to establish their current state of being. She supports each person’s capacity to recognise their own intentions and honours that process, with the aim of helping clients increase self-awareness and develop a healthier sense of self.

Working with the authentic parts of a person and tracing the underlying causes of present difficulties can open the way to practical tools for resilience, self-regulation and emotional healing. Brenda aims to assist clients as they move toward more fulfilling life circumstances and lasting, meaningful change. She affirms that change is possible even from places that feel hopeless.

Her practice uses an integrative approach and a range of therapeutic modalities chosen to suit individual preferences and issues. With three years’ experience including training and volunteering, Brenda draws on psychodynamic work to explore origins of difficulties, cognitive behavioural techniques to develop practical strategies for unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and person-centred principles to maintain a professional, client-led therapeutic relationship.

Brenda holds a BSc (Hons), which indicates an undergraduate honours degree, and is a member of the MBACP (Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She works with adults on a wide variety of concerns, and can offer culturally informed support as a therapist of colour. She is a female therapist and can work with clients who identify as Christian, older adults, or non-religious.

She understands the courage it takes to seek support and appreciates the importance of finding the right counsellor. Brenda invites enquiries and will endeavour to respond promptly, openly and honestly so people can determine whether she is the right fit for them.
