About me
About Me
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and my aim is to make that as comfortable as possible. I work with adults, children, and teenagers who are facing challenges such as anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, transitions, such as getting older and divorce as well as everyday pressures that can build up over time.
My Background
For more than twenty years I’ve supported individuals and families through the ups and downs of life. My background has been working with families and individuals from birth onwards so as a counsellor I have a deep understanding of how complex life can be and how important it is to have someone who is professional and outside of your everyday life who can listen, understand, while adapting to your needs in a non-judgemental way. No two people are the same, and through our work together with an empathic approach I shape the sessions to suit your needs.
What my Counselling Can Offer
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of your next step, counselling can bring clarity and support. My role is to walk alongside you, providing support in a non-judgmental way as you progress on your journey, encouraging you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe in equipping you with practical tools and useful knowledge that help you build your confidence and resilience.
How I Work
My aim is to understand what is going on for you so you can “get on with your life”. I am an Integrative Counsellor which means I have skills I can use that are best for you at that time. My training includes Person‑Centred Counselling, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Mindfulness with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Life Coaching as part of Motivational Interviewing.
You will find that I am non‑judgemental and offer a space where you can explore what’s going on at your own pace. Listening to you with reflection I use practical tools to help you make sense of your experiences and feel more able to manage the challenges you are facing.
My approach is to help you understand the negative patterns that are repeating causing you emotional distress and hindering your growth. By talking about these issues and how they affect you emotionally and physically you can start to gain clarity and understand what changes you would like to make.
I am also a Mindfulness Teacher which is never a requirement in counselling with me but is something we might draw on when it feels useful. Mindfulness can help you recognise patterns as they emerge to create space between old habits and new outlooks as you learn to detect familiar patterns that you want to change. Together mindfulness and counselling can provide insight and tools for personal growth.
This approach helps you understand your problems and how they have evolved, enabling you to examine them more deeply, and mindfulness helps you relate to yourself with compassion rather than criticism. This includes
- insight into what’s happening and why
- tools to help you respond in new ways
- support to move from old patterns into new possibilities
- support and motivation to continue growth
This combination helps many people feel more grounded, more aware, and more able to choose the direction they want to take.
Introductions
If you’re thinking about counselling and want to see whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free thirty‑minute introductory session by phone, Zoom, or face‑to‑face if you’re nearby. This is a no obligation introduction which gives you an opportunity to explain what has bought you to this point and for us to examine how we might work together to explore if my approach suits your needs.
My practice has private access, on‑site parking, and a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel at ease.
What I can help with
As an Integrative Counsellor I combine talking therapy with creativity mindfulness, and coaching which are all evidence‑based approaches. I support adults, couples and teenagers at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.
This includes
- Emotional Wellbeing: Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Anger management, Dealing with Loneliness
- Life Transitions: Ageing, Bereavement, Redundancy, Transitions and Change
- Personal Growth: Self Discovery, Personal development, Development coaching
- Relationships: Child related issues, Relationship development for individuals and Couples.
- Work Issues: Employment, Bullying or other work related issues
I feel that because I have such experience of working with individuals and families, I am able to specialise in supporting adults, children, and teenagers who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties and the everyday stresses that can build up over time.
One client who I worked with was able to express my expertise in the following way.
"I am genuinely grateful for the support I’ve received from Glyn, particularly during what has been an extremely challenging period in my life.
What has stood out most is the balance Glyn strikes between offering immediate, practical support in the moment, while also helping put longer-term steps in place to address deeper, underlying issues. That combination has been incredibly important for me — it allowed me to feel supported when I most needed it, while also building something more sustainable for the future.
I’ve also really valued the way Glyn combines practical, real‑world guidance with spiritually led insight and references. This approach resonated strongly with me and helped me reflect more deeply on how I handle situations, relationships, and life more broadly.
Through our work together, I’ve noticed clear and tangible changes. My outlook on life feels more balanced, centred, and thoughtful. My anger and temper have significantly reduced, and the long‑standing sense of feeling lost has eased in a very real way. I also appreciate how Glyn consistently highlights the progress I’ve made — something that’s easy to overlook without an experienced and objective perspective.
The way Glyn works feels just right: enough structure to provide direction and momentum, while always offering the space of an open, attentive ear. He is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely engaged. I always feel listened to, understood, and supported.
I honestly don’t think I could have got through this period without Glyn’s support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering counselling or coaching, whether for longer‑term personal development or short‑term support during a difficult time"

N stated that
''I felt I was at my lowest point when I came to see Glyn. He helped me realise how other factors in my life both past and present make me deal with things the way I do. He taught me self compassion, how it’s ok not to be ok. How to work through my grief and that its ok to grieve, that its a personal thing and everyone is different.
Glyn is a caring man, he helps you think through things and unpick what’s causing you the anxiety or sorrow or depression.
Would like to say a big thank you, you’ve helped me so much.
Thank you again N''
Another Client Stated that
"I couldn't be more grateful for Glyn. I got him as a therapist at a point in my life where I was suffering from panic attacks as a result of the stress associated with the loss of a loved one and challenges with my relationship. Through therapy, I've learnt how to:
Effectively deal with loss
Deal with my emotions in a healthy way
Be both introspective but also sympathetic to myself
I could not have done this by myself. This has changed my life for the better. My recommendation to anyone wanting to start therapy with Glyn, is to be open to it. Glyn creates a safe space for someone to open up, and in a non judgemental way, helps individuals explore their feelings and possible solutions".

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I work from an integrative approach, using a variety of modalities and psychological theories that are related to counselling and psychotherapy. My premises is quiet where I can offer face to face, or remotely via Zoom and Skype.
Often people come to counselling because they are repeating patterns of behaviour that are causing them distress, anxiety or depression hindering them from developing their life journey. I offer a safe comfortable environment where people can be heard and problems can be unpicked by working together with hope and a destination in mind.
It is also my belief that through this therapeutic journey I can offer tools to understand patterns of behaviour but also help stop repeating them in the future. I am a registered member of the BACP and sessions are for 50 minutes.
