About Brenda

Brenda is a qualified Pluralistic Counsellor. The Pluralistic approach allows her to offer a tailor-made therapy in accordance with your individual needs. She works in collaboration with you to help you identify what you want from therapy and how you may achieve it. Her training has given her the skills to offer tools from many different approaches.

If you are struggling with a difficult issue, Brenda would like to offer you a safe and confidential space where you can talk through things. When we are feeling anxious or worried or struggling to cope with difficult issues it can feel like a lonely place. Brenda helps people to find peace of mind by managing their anxiety or low mood. She does that by allowing them the opportunity to be themselves, to understand their thoughts and actions and help them to move forward in their lives. Counselling can help with most everyday problems that life can throw up such as past events, losing someone close or anxiety and depression. Short focused or longer term counselling is available, depending on what your needs are.

Brenda works with a range of issues including:

  • low mood
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • abuse
  • relationship issues
  • suicidal ideation
  • trauma
  • bereavement
