About Glenford

Glenford Donegan helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem and depression using a conversational, person-centred approach. He works with clients to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to find practical ways forward. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience in the UK.

Glenford uses a mix of talking approaches to suit different problems. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and behavioural experiments. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action.

Attachment-based work is part of his practice when relationship patterns are relevant. This helps people understand how early relationships shape present-day responses and improve how they relate to others. He also uses existential ideas to look at values, responsibility and life meaning when those issues come up.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change. Glenford listens and then works with clients to set small, practical goals and try out different ways of coping. He gives clear explanations and practical exercises to use between sessions.

He has additional experience with issues such as obsessive and compulsive behaviours, panic attacks, social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, prejudice and discrimination, men’s concerns and multicultural issues. He works in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

How Glenford uses talking therapies online

Glenford often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) online, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is also used; it teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to act in line with what matters most. Attachment-based ideas are applied when relationship patterns are a core concern, helping people see how earlier relationships influence current behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Glenford will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods so they fit the client’s needs. The therapist and client agree the focus and try different techniques to see what helps most in practice.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option, and they support continuity of care when circumstances change.
