About Glenda

Her style is calm and patient. She listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling. Sessions focus on practical skills to relax, manage strong emotions and notice unhelpful thinking patterns.
How Glenda works
Glenda draws on attachment work to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. She uses client-centred techniques to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural ideas help unpack thoughts and try different behaviour in everyday life.
Her background includes work in a family export business, not-for-profit homeless services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres. That variety has shaped a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to common life problems. Glenda aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths.
She guides clients to hear their body's signals, try new skills and make small changes that add up. Sessions emphasise practical steps people can use now to feel steadier and more able to face life changes.

How Glenda's approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions; online sessions can help people notice patterns in close relationships and try different responses. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre - the therapist listens actively, follows the client's pace and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them and try small behavioural changes that reduce distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Glenda will discuss goals and preferences and together decide what to try first. That collaborative process may shift over time as progress and needs evolve.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy days and to continue work when travel or other commitments make face-to-face sessions difficult.
