About Glennis

Glennis Pye is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem and career strain. Social anxiety and phobia is listed among her focus areas.

She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching, which means she draws on several approaches rather than using a single method. That can include conversational counselling, practical coaching steps, and structured therapeutic methods when these suit the person she is working with. Sessions are planned together with the client and shaped around their preferences and goals.

Glennis describes work beginning with understanding what feels difficult now and what a person would like to change. She will talk through thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour to identify manageable steps forward. This can include building confidence, managing anger or stress, and addressing difficult memories or relationship patterns.

Her approach uses techniques from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when appropriate. She explains options clearly and helps people decide which strategies to try first.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her practice follows the BACP ethical framework and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online booking flow.

Working with ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing small actions that reflect what matters to you. It often helps with anxiety and worrying about social situations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses. It is commonly used for anxiety and confidence building. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape expectations and responses; this can help with abandonment and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with the client, listen to their preferences and goals, and agree together which techniques to try first. That collaborative planning can change as sessions progress.

Confirm the session formats directly before booking as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full session is not possible. Some formats may suit quieter conversations, others may be better for exercises that need video. The therapist will help identify practical arrangements that fit everyday life and the client's needs.
