I am so grateful for Glenda, she has helped me overcome a number of personal issues. She was kind, non-judgmental, understanding and always listened intently to anything I needed to share.
Glenda created a relaxed, safe and supportive environment where I felt comfortable to discuss things with her. She always remembered our previous conversations, we worked through a number of different strategies to give me the support I needed and she was always reliable. I would recommend Glenda to anyone in need of some extra support.

I found it very easy to trust Glenda and she was sensitive to my issues. She is a professional and careful practitioner who managed to help me turn myself round and make very positive improvements within a short timescale. I would certainly recommend her and will turn to her if the need arises in future. More...

Thanks Jenny it was a pleasure working with you

After previously seeing 2 different counsellers, who I feel didn't really help me, I searched online via Bark and within hours of me registering Glenda reached out and I opted to go with her as my life was spiraling out of control. Glenda listened and gave great advice when and where she could and helped changed my mindset into things.
Along with online sessions, I also had some hypnotherapy which also helped.
Highly recommend
Thanks again

Hi, how lovely of you. Thank you. Be proud of the work you did and continue to do. All the best

22 November 2022

I approached Glenda with what was believed to be a severe anxiety disorder prompted by a near tragedy.

Glenda responded promptly to my initial message and arranged to meet in quick succession.

I had 14 sessions which not only helped me learn tools to manage my anxiety but also identify and break down other issues I never considered to contribute.

Glenda is extremely professional and concise in her work however she has the sensitivity and mindfulness to create a safe and warm environment.

Discussing your thoughts and feelings is a huge feat and finding the right person is critical to your progress, Glenda was that person for me.

I am forever grateful for what she has taught me.

I cant rate Glenda highly enough. I started regular sessions a year ago to talk through problems I was having with control, anger and being a new father. Vocalising these issues with someone knowledgeable and understanding has really helped me be more accepting of myself and improved my self-esteem. Thanks Glenda! More...

I can't praise Glenda enough. She helped me work through a difficult time I had as a child, also current issues that was happening.
Glenda is a very compassionate and kind lady. She made me feel very relaxed and able to express myself without feeling judged.
I know that when we first met, I was a different girl, from the one I am today.
I feel I have come on so much and without her help and support I would not have achieved this.
I would highly recommend Glenda to anyone, she truly is a wonderful lady.
Thank you Glenda. x😁

I initially went to Glenda for one issue but ended up staying on for a while longer as she helped me work through a number of things.

I would definitely recommend Glenda to anyone. She allowed me to open up at my own pace, and created a space where I felt able to discuss things I would not normally feel able to. Working with her was fascinating and her ability to relate to my way of thinking made me feel more at ease than I imagined I would when having counselling. Thanks for all your help Glenda! More...

I can’t thank Glenda enough.
She has helped me work through so much and I’ve come out of it: confident, believing in myself & pretty much anxiety free. I have lived with anxiety for as long as I can remember and cannot express the freeing feeling I now feel, one that I thought I’d never feel.

Thank you Glenda for your guidance and your listening ear.

Glenda gives such kindness and warmth, and really just help guide you into understanding yourself more.

I 100% recommend. It’s changed my life for the better.

I worked with Glenda for several months and my transformation is unbelievable. I cannot thank Glenda enough for the support and tools she has taught me to be the new and confident person I am today. At the start of my journey, I thought I wouldn’t be able to change my mindset and get out of the situation I was in. Glenda supported me throughout and gave me different methods and reasoning behind my emotions. Now I feel like I can continue on this path and develop my confidence even further. She has taught me to be happy within myself and in my own company. My anxiety has significantly reduced and my relationships and understanding of others has improved. But what is even better is that Glenda has taught me how to recognise my triggers for anxiety and manage them. I am so thankful and grateful for the work we put in and for Glenda’s help. I really felt like I was listened to and my emotions were validated throughout, I didn’t once feel silly or irrational. I would happily recommend Glenda to anyone who needs support. Thank you so much for your help. More...

I was always so skeptical about counselling and having to delve into situations and experiences that were uncomfortable to discuss but Glenda's understanding and openness made it feel easy.

I spent just over 7 months working with Glenda, she really helped me overcome some past difficulties by helping me to think differently and train my brain to live in the present.

I overcame fear I had struggled with for a long time by talking and also with hypnosis she gave me the tools to change the way I think which has made me a better person.

I would really recommend Glenda to work with as I built a good rapport with her as she is easy to talk to and I was able to fully open up to her about my past as I could trust her as she is a good listener who shows empathy and understanding in her work.

Q&As

Seeing the transformation of people, as they work through the process and having been allowed to travel on that journey with them.

Being in control of my time and destiny - Having worked in the Finance Industry for many years and seeing how people are "managed" at work, the impacts of poor life/work balance, I felt it was time to start making a difference for others.

I have a wealth of life experience, including working in the Financial industry and Public Sector for a number of years. I truly understand the stress and anxiety that work and more importantly poor work/life balance can bring.

Fully trained and also continuing my own personal development, I am well equipped with a number of models to assist my clients with a range of difficulties. I am passionate about what I do and love seeing people step out confidently onto a new path and journey.

I am on panels for Victim Support, SAIF (for bereavement counselling) and other Employer Assistance Programmes all of which provide an array of different client scenarios and keeps my breadth of experience current.

Services are provided face to face (Covid issues permitting) as well as by secure video conference.

When able to use my clinic, I have extended the space between me and the client to be in excess of the 2 meter rule. Hand sanitiser is available to clients who haven't brought their own. Water is no longer offered to remove the risk of contamination on glasses etc. Waiting room large enough to maintain social distancing.
