About Glenda
Glenda Clementson is an ACA counsellor with 15 years' practical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, useful steps. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel a little better each session.
Glenda listens closely and uses the person’s own strengths as a starting point. She supports people dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, grief, addictions and relationship issues.
Background and approach
She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, low self-esteem, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Her background includes work in a family export business, not-for-profit homeless services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres. That range of settings informs how she tailors conversations and practical strategies to everyday life.
She draws on counselling and psychotherapy training gained through a Graduate Diploma and Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy. In sessions she teaches skills to relax, connect with thoughts and emotions, and notice bodily signals. Techniques aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways to respond to triggers.
Glenda encourages people to try manageable experiments between sessions so progress can be tracked. People can expect a warm, respectful tone and a focus on practical steps. The work is collaborative - the person is seen as having strengths and answers to discover.
Glenda’s style is supportive and gently challenge-focused, helping people move toward a more content and functional life.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns from important relationships and how these affect current emotional responses. It focuses on connection and can be useful for relationship stress, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment.Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and choices. The therapist listens without judgement and supports people to find their own solutions, which suits those who want a gentle, reflective process.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches clear techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, often useful for anxiety, panic and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on attachment patterns, skills-based CBT tools or a client-centred exploration, and adjustments are made as the work proceeds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other responsibilities.
