With three years of experience that includes formal training and volunteering, Brenda works in an integrative way that adapts to individual needs.

Her listed credentials include a BSc (Hons) in psychology-level study and membership of the BACP - the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Brenda specialises in areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and depression, and also supports people with concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiving stress, codependency, and recovery from abuse. She welcomes questions and enquiries and aims to respond openly and promptly to help people decide whether she is the right fit for their journey.

Attachment and CBT-informed care available online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and current connections. It helps people understand attachment styles, address issues like abandonment or difficulty trusting others, and improve relationship dynamics through greater awareness and new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It teaches concrete techniques to manage anxiety, reduce depressive thinking, and change unhelpful habits, making it useful for stress, mood concerns and coping with life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy invites gentle attention to present-moment experience to increase emotional awareness and self-regulation. Simple practices can support stress reduction, improve emotional tolerance, and complement other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brenda will work with each person to explore needs, goals and preferences and tailor methods that feel like the best fit. Registered professionals and therapists often combine approaches in this way to meet individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Brenda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and people living in different locations. These options make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
