Clarinda Burns

Clarinda Burns is a qualified therapist based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She has worked with a wide and diverse range of clients, supporting people through bereavement, mild and severe mental health difficulties, various addictions, deep-rooted trauma and longstanding childhood issues.

Her work is firmly client-centred - Clarinda creates a contained and comfortable space where the client remains at the heart of the therapy. She encourages exploration of the reasons that brought each person to counselling, recognising that feeling at ease is a crucial part of the therapeutic process.

Each person’s journey is treated as individual and unique. Clarinda offers focus and structure while helping clients develop a deeper and healthier understanding of themselves, exploring concerns so they can be worked through in a manageable way.

Beginning counselling can feel daunting and brave; Clarinda aims to ground those anxieties and provide steady support so clients feel safer, more focused and more in control of their progress. She believes strongly in personal autonomy and in empowering individuals to make clearer decisions and feel more capable.

Clarinda can work with a range of timescales and is open and honest about what can reasonably be addressed within a given timeframe for the client’s well-being. As an older, non-religious female therapist, she brings experience and a respectful, professional approach to each person’s therapeutic path.
