About me and my therapy practice:
I provide a non-judgemental and safe space, giving you an opportunity for exploration, emotionally and psychologically, to determine your current state of being.
I will be supportive of your inherent ability to know your own intentions and honour this process, with the hope to assist you to gain a greater understanding of yourself, therefore increasing self-awareness. This is key to having a healthy sense of self.
As you work with the true aspects of yourself, and gain an understanding of the underlying causes of how you came to be where you are, you can progress towards learning tools of resilience, self-regulation and emotional healing, which could move you towards a more fulfilling and enjoyable life circumstance and create positive, lasting, meaningful change; something we all aspire to achieving. Even in the most hopeless feeling space, change is possible.
I enjoy using a variety of modalities to fit your individual preferences, circumstances and issues with an integrative approach, with three years experience (including training/volunteering). Within this model I like to use the psychodynamic approach to help me to access the origin of a particular challenge/issue; cognitive behavioural therapy to assist with devising tools to address unhealthy behavioural/thinking patterns, and person-centred approaches to assist with developing and remaining in a professional client-led/therapeutic relationship with you which is key to effective counselling.
I know that it takes courage to make this first step in seeking support and I appreciate the need to find the right counsellor to support you on your journey. With this in mind please feel free to contact me with any questions or enquiries, and I will endeavour to respond promptly, openly and honestly so that you are more likely to determine whether I’m the right fit for you.
Some of the areas I can work with you on include:
• Turning negative relationship dynamics into positive dynamics
• Connecting more deeply with your inner self
• Learning to access your intuition and innate source of wisdom
• Finding meaning and purpose in your life
• Developing components of emotional intelligence: awareness, self-regulation, empathy
• Understanding your emotions, and working with them, rather than against them
• Tending to addictive behaviours
• Developing resilience and the capacity to be with unbearable feelings
• Personal growth and transformation
• Healing from trauma and emotional hurts
• Overcoming stress, burnout, depression & anxiety
• Overcoming negative life patterns that are holding you back
• Develop healthy boundaries i.e., to say a compassionate no
• Stop the intergenerational transmission of negative emotional patterns
• Understanding relationship dynamics

I was nervous about starting therapy and opening up to someone about all my problems but that nervousness disappeared soon after I started my session with Brenda. She is lovely and really listens, understands and empathises with what your going through. Brenda gives you hope that things can and will change with the work you do together. I highly recommend Brenda as a therapist and if your nervous too just know that she's warm, kind and friendly so you'll feel more at ease pretty quickly.

I have been fortunate to have Therapist Brenda as my therapist, and I cannot speak highly enough of her knowledge, professionalism, and support. From the very beginning, Brenda has proven herself to be an exceptional therapist who goes above and beyond to help her clients.
Brenda's knowledge on various subjects is truly impressive. She has a deep understanding of narcissistic behaviors and has been instrumental in helping me recognize and navigate these patterns within my partner. Her insights and guidance have been invaluable in shedding light on the dynamics of my relationship and providing me with strategies to cope with the challenges I have been facing.
Additionally, Brenda has been incredibly supportive throughout our sessions. She has created a safe and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and emotions. Her ability to listen attentively and offer empathetic support has been crucial in my healing process. I genuinely feel heard and understood when I talk to her, and that has made a significant difference in my overall well-being.
Furthermore, Brenda has been instrumental in supporting me through a potential ADHD diagnosis. She has provided resources, guidance, and practical strategies to help me navigate the challenges associated with ADHD. Her expertise and understanding of this area have been invaluable, allowing me to gain a better understanding of myself and develop effective coping mechanisms.
One of the things I appreciate most about Brenda is her ability to make our sessions enjoyable. Despite discussing deep and sometimes challenging topics, she has a warm and friendly demeanor that instantly puts me at ease. Talking to her feels like talking to a trusted confidante, and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful.
As someone who had never experienced therapy before, I am incredibly grateful to have found Brenda. Her professionalism, knowledge, and unwavering support have made the therapeutic process not only accessible but also incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend Therapist Brenda enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, professional, and supportive therapist. She has made a profound impact on my life, and I am truly grateful for her guidance.
