About me

Compassionate Counselling & Psychotherapy in Hitchin and surrounding areas

What journey has drawn you to this page?    

There are many reasons why people seek counselling, many similar but all individually unique. Therefore there is no one-size-fits all therapy and I will work with you while valuing your individuality.

​​At Glenn Cooper Counselling, I offer a range of therapeutic services tailored to meet the unique needs of adults, children, and families. Below, you’ll find detailed descriptions of the specific areas I can help with. My practice is based in Hitchin, where I provide a safe and compassionate space for each client.

Individual Therapy for Adults

Helping You Manage Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or adjusting to a major life change, individual therapy provides a supportive space to explore your feelings and develop coping strategies. As a BACP-registered counsellor, I work with you to address these challenges at your own pace, helping you build resilience and confidence.

Therapy for Children & Adolescents

Support for Young People Facing School, Social, and Family Challenges

Children and teens experience unique pressures that can impact their mental health. I offer gentle, tailored support for young clients dealing with academic stress, social issues, or changes in family dynamics. My full enhanced DBS clearance and experience working in Special Educational Needs Schools and other educational settings allow me to create a safe, understanding environment for children and adolescents.

Family & Relationship Counselling

Building Stronger Relationships Through Effective Communication

​Healthy relationships are essential to our well-being. Family or relationship counselling can help resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen bonds. Together, we’ll explore patterns in family dynamics and work towards a more harmonious, supportive environment.

​My counselling practice is located in Hitchin, and I offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs, including sessions for adults, children, and families. To discuss which approach may be right for you, feel free to contact me.

Glenn Cooper Counselling: Compassionate Counselling & Psychotherapy in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.

As a BACP-registered counsellor, I provide compassionate, person-centered counselling and psychotherapy for adults and children experiencing a range of mental health challenges. My practice, established in 2019, offers a safe space where you can explore your emotions and experiences without judgment, guided by the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Experienced Mental Health Support for All Ages

​With a BSc Honours degree in Psychology and a Level 4 diploma in Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling, I stay committed to ongoing professional development to deliver effective and informed care. Since 2016, I have also supported students as a counsellor with the Bedford College Group, working across Special Educational Needs Schools, Colleges, Secondary, and Primary Education. My full enhanced DBS clearance allows me to work safely with children and vulnerable persons.

Person-Centered Therapy Tailored to Your Needs

​My approach is warm, approachable, and tailored to each client’s individual journey. I believe in creating a collaborative relationship, where every session is designed around your unique challenges and goals. Whether you’re seeking mental health support for anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I am here to help you grow and find balance.

Who I work with:

Individual Adult Therapy

Individual counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to explore the feelings and experiences that may be negatively impacting your well-being.
Carrying the weight of daily life can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress, often resulting in anger toward yourself or those close to you, a fear of being genuine, or low self-esteem.
In our work together, the aim is to empower you to unlock your inner resources for resolving personal challenges. You can expect to develop a greater capacity to handle life’s difficulties positively, improve your emotional well-being, build resilience, and create a more fulfilling life.
As a person-centred counsellor, I will walk alongside you, allowing you to set the pace that feels comfortable. I accept your experiences without judgment and commit to being an active listener. Through reflective communication, we can accurately explore your thoughts and feelings together, paving the way for positive outcomes.

Child and Adolescent Therapy

Many young people struggle with their emotions, facing pressures from school, family life, friendships, and social media. These challenges can lead to feelings of vulnerability, anxiety, depression, anger, and fear, all of which can negatively impact their mental well-being. Often, they may feel scared or uncomfortable discussing their feelings with family members, friends, or teachers, fearing judgment. I provide a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where they can openly express themselves.
Counselling can be particularly beneficial for young individuals dealing with bullying, relationship issues, low self-esteem, transitions like changing schools, parental separation, or self-harm. My goal is to help them explore these challenges and develop effective coping strategies and skills to thrive.
With experience working in Further Education, Secondary, and Primary Schools, as well as in Special Educational settings for students facing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) issues, I am well-equipped to support young people in their journey. I also hold Full Enhanced DBS clearance, ensuring a safe environment for your child.
If you're interested in learning more about how my services can benefit a young person's individual needs, please contact me.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere strictly to its ethical framework to ensure professional and ethical practice (BACP).

I established my private practice in 2019, providing counselling and psychotherapy to adults and children dealing with a variety of mental health challenges. My academic foundation includes a BSc Honours degree in Psychology, followed by a Level 4 Diploma in Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling. I engage in continuous professional development through regular training and supervision to maintain and enhance my skills.

In addition to my private practice, I have extensive experience in educational settings. Since 2016, I have worked as a student counsellor with The Bedford College Group, supported students across Special Educational Needs Schools, colleges, secondary, and primary education.

I hold full enhanced DBS clearance, enabling me to work safely and responsibly with children and vulnerable individuals.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
