Glennis Pye , BACP

Glennis Pye is a qualified counsellor who works with people seeking either short-term or longer-term support for a wide range of difficulties. She supports clients with general and situation-specific anxiety, depression, bereavement, traumatic experiences both past and current, recovery from illness, relationship and family problems, stress and anger management, confidence and assertiveness building, and transitions through life.

Holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching, Glennis combines therapeutic listening with practical coaching techniques where appropriate. Her integrative training allows her to draw on different methods and tailor sessions to each person’s goals and preferences, working collaboratively to agree a clear plan of support.

Glennis aims to create an environment in which people feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can identify patterns, build new skills and make changes that help them move forward. She adapts her approach to suit individual needs and focuses on helping clients grow, recover and thrive in their everyday lives.

She is registered with the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practices in line with that organisation’s ethical framework.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Glennis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while focusing on values-based action - it is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relationship patterns to improve connection and trust in relationships and to address issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy offers a non-directive, empathetic space where the client’s own knowledge and goals guide the pace of change and is helpful for building self-esteem and processing emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Glennis works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best given their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, adapt methods over time and involve the client in decisions about their care.

Online therapy with Glennis is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. These remote options make it easier to access support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, and they allow sessions to continue through life changes and different schedules.
