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...

George
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

That was when a friend gave the number of Glenda .from our first meeting I felt relaxed and started to pour out my heart to her .After time seeing Glenda I start to feel the light coming back in to me as things fell into place .In many ways I owe my sanity to Glenda and I Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for pulling me out of an ever deepening hole More...

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 can’t thank Glenda enough! In a short space of time she helped me with so many issues that were causing me low mood and anxiety. Highly recommend.

Keith
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...

Tracie
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 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.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Glenda. In the 9 months she was really able to help me develop and overcome certain obstacles in my life. A great person who understands and is very empathetic. She is definitely a person you’d want to go to for any problems in your life you want to address. I could not be more happy with the progress I made in the 9 months. Thank you Glenda. More...

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 will be forever thankful to Glenda and without her guidance and patience I don't think I would be as comfortable and settled in life as I am right now. Would highly recommend Glenda. More...

I have recently just finished my sessions with Glenda. I was going through a difficult time and she has helped me massively put things into perspective and given me some really useful tools to help deal with my low moods.
Highly recommend.

Rachel
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.

Honestly, I can't thank or recommend Glenda enough! In matter of weeks she has helped me reverse 7 years of struggling with my own head, and has given me the tools and techniques that I know I will be using in the future.
For the first time in a long time I feel positive and optimistic about the future! Thank you Glenda!

What inspired you to start your own business?
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.
