Glennis Pye , BACP

Glennis Pye is a counsellor who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, stress and anger management, life transitions, confidence building, and recovery from illness. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, domestic violence, guilt and shame, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, women's concerns, young adult issues, ADHD, career matters and coping with major life changes.

She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching, a qualification that enables her to blend therapeutic and coaching methods where appropriate, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. In practice she adapts her approach to each person, agreeing with clients on the best mix of strategies and sometimes using more active coaching techniques when these fit the client’s goals.

Whether someone is tackling longstanding difficulties or responding to recent stresses, Glennis aims to create a calm and supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Her work focuses on helping people identify meaningful goals, develop practical coping skills and make changes that allow them to move forward, grow and thrive in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress where a person wants to build psychological flexibility and move toward meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current emotions and behaviour. This approach is helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, abandonment concerns and for people seeking to understand how past bonds influence present-day connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, phobias and stress management when clients want structured techniques to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Glennis works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the mix of approaches as the work progresses.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexible access to licensed professionals and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. These options support continuity of care for people who travel, have caregiving responsibilities, or prefer remote sessions, while allowing therapists and clients to work together effectively toward agreed goals.
