About Glenda

Glenda Clementson is an ACA counsellor with 15 years' experience. She helps people who are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or overwhelmed.

Background and approach

She also supports those coping with addiction, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Glenda listens closely and keeps language simple and warm.

She draws on different ways of working to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on learning practical skills to manage thoughts, moods and behaviours.

She also helps people notice how their body holds stress and how to calm it. Her background includes work in a family export business, not-for-profit homeless services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres.

That experience informs a down-to-earth approach to complex problems. Glenda uses techniques that help people relax, reflect and take small steps forward.

Many sessions aim to uncover strengths people already have. She encourages clients to discover answers that feel right for them.

The emphasis is on usable tools rather than long explanations. Glenda works with a range of concerns including ADHD, caregiver stress, body image, communication problems and career uncertainties.

She blends attachment-based ideas, elements of the Gottman Method and practical CBT strategies to address present-day difficulties.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Gottman Method ideas focus on improving communication, reducing harmful patterns and building practical habits that support connection. Online sessions can be used to practise these skills in real time and to work through communication exercises together.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people notice their attachment patterns and develop new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them find their own solutions and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short coaching moments or times when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
