About Glenda
Glenda Clementson is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of practice. She listens closely and helps people who are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or stuck. Her way is calm and practical, aimed at helping someone find small changes that make daily life easier.
Glenda works with people who are facing relationship strain, trauma, addiction and grief. She also supports concerns like sleep or eating problems, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She uses clear, hands-on strategies so people can try things between sessions and notice what helps. Her background includes work in a personal family export business, not-for-profit homelessness services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres. That range gives her experience with practical pressures and crisis recovery as well as long term change.
She draws on this experience when helping people set realistic steps forward. Glenda combines Narrative ideas with attachment-aware and client-centred ways of working. She pays attention to the stories a person tells about themselves and to how relationships shape feeling and behaviour.
Sessions focus on hearing those stories, naming strengths and testing new ways of responding. People who choose Glenda often want a supportive listener who offers clear tools. She encourages people to notice bodily signals, manage strong feelings and try simple techniques for relaxation and grounding.
The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Glenda directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Narrative and attachment approaches for online counselling
Glenda often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work looks at how problems become the main story and helps people notice alternative strengths and possibilities. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to pay attention to how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour; this can be useful for anxiety, intimacy issues and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glenda collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will listen to what matters to you, suggest ways to try things differently, and adjust the approach as progress is noticed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work even when travel or time is a barrier.
