Glenford Donegan, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts without being ruled by them and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help with depression and anxiety by shifting focus toward meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, panic and unhelpful patterns. Attachment‑Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can be useful for relationship concerns and long‑standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Glenford will talk with each client about what they want to achieve, what feels most comfortable, and which methods suit their situation. He adapts sessions over time so the work fits changing needs and goals.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold a fuller conversation when schedules or travel make in-person work difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a helpful shorter option during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and a flexible way to share between sessions. These formats give choice and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
