Ms Brenda Naso

Brenda Naso is a highly experienced psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with nearly two decades of clinical experience working with adults, children, and young people. She is an integral member of the expert multidisciplinary team at Schoen Clinic Chelsea, a leading private mental health clinic in London, where she provides specialist outpatient treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions. Brenda offers both individual and group psychotherapy, combining talking therapy with embodied psychotherapy approaches to support clients facing attachment issues, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, medically unexplained symptoms, functional neurological disorders, and other complex mental health challenges. Brenda’s extensive background within the NHS has included roles in both acute and community adult mental health services, as well as in GP practices, where she supported individuals with chronic pain, health anxiety, and medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). She has also worked in the charitable sector, providing support for children and young people dealing with trauma, abuse, attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, and various psychological challenges. A specialist in Somatic Trauma Therapy, Brenda has a strong interest in embodied processes and somatic practices, recognising trauma as a psychophysical experience. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, Brenda uses an integrative and client-centred approach to psychotherapy. She provides a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and bodily experiences at their own pace. Her approach combines humanistic, person-centred, attachment-focused, systemic, and psychodynamic psychotherapies, alongside embodied practices and creative therapy techniques. This tailored approach helps clients develop self-awareness, resilience, and emotional healing. Brenda’s international background gives her a deep understanding of the challenges individuals face when navigating new cultural landscapes, particularly issues related to identity, belonging, and adjustment. As an immigrant herself, she empathises deeply with individuals from multicultural and minority communities, making her an ideal therapist for those seeking culturally sensitive psychotherapy in London. In addition to her clinical work, Brenda is a university lecturer and facilitator of workshops and retreats, delivering training both in the UK and internationally.
