Glenda Clementson , ACA

Glenda Clementson is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain and trauma. She works with individuals to reduce panic, manage depression, and find more balance in daily life. Glenda listens closely and helps clients reconnect with their feelings and bodies to find calmer moments in the present.

Her approach is practical and gentle. She guides people to notice their strengths and to uncover answers already within them. Sessions include learning skills to relax, manage difficult thoughts, and respond differently to stressful situations.

Glenda draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to explore connection and trust, client-centred listening to follow the person’s pace, and cognitive behavioural tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. These methods are applied in simple, paced steps rather than technical language.

Her background includes work in a private family export business, not-for-profit homeless services, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres. That experience informs a practical outlook on recovery and everyday coping.

People come to her for help with issues such as parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career stress, intimacy concerns and managing life changes. Glenda aims to support each person with kindness and practical options to improve daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and safety. Online sessions can explore patterns of trust and connection and help people find new ways to relate and feel steadier in close relationships.

Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and following the person’s pace. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, helps clarify values and supports the client to make changes at a comfortable speed.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete tools to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can help with anxiety, panic, low mood and coping with life changes by introducing small experiments and practical strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glenda will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for longer therapy and face-to-face style conversations. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins, written reflection and for people who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to keep therapy going around work and family commitments.
