Glenda.D.Roberts
Psychotherapist
About
I’m Glenda D. Roberts. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to talk, heal, and grow. With over 17 years of experience as a psychotherapist and over 35 years in mental health. I’ve helped countless individuals and couples overcome challenges like anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic methodology is characterised by:
• Creating a safe, non-judgemental space for authentic self-expression.
• Facilitating access to your innate healing abilities.
• Respecting your individuality and autonomy in the therapeutic journey.
• Integrating professional expertise with genuine empathy and presence.
• Embracing a holistic view of mental health that honours the mind, body, and spirit connection.
Higher Self Alignment Work
In addition to traditional therapeutic approaches, I offer specialised Higher Self Alignment work that helps you:
• Connect with your deepest wisdom and authentic core.
• Remove energetic blocks preventing your full potential.
• Integrate fragmented aspects of self for greater wholeness.
• Access intuitive guidance for challenging life decisions.
• Transform limiting beliefs into empowering perspectives.
My integrated approach combines evidence-based techniques with transformative alignment practices, creating a unique healing experience tailored to your specific needs and goals.
The Therapeutic Philosophy
How would you describe your therapeutic methodology?
My practice is founded on a sophisticated integration of evidence-based modalities—humanistic, person-centered, psychodynamic, and higher self-conceptualization—creating a bespoke therapeutic experience.
This multidimensional approach transcends conventional therapeutic boundaries, allowing for a deeply personalized journey tailored precisely to your unique psychological architecture and healing requirements.
What credentials distinguish your practice?
As a BACP Accredited Member & Psychotherapist, I bring elite-level qualifications complemented by extensive experiential knowledge in trauma resolution and diverse client engagement. My practice stands at the intersection of a multi-faceted, multicultural foundation and a nuanced approach.
In which therapeutic domains have you developed specialized expertise?
My specialized expertise encompasses the intricate landscape of complex trauma (physical, psychological, and emotional), the multifaceted dimensions of gender identity exploration, neurodivergent experiences, cultural intersection challenges, and existential reconnection for those experiencing profound self-dissociation. These specializations are informed by years of dedicated practice and continuous professional development.
Client Engagement Spectrum
Which individuals do you accompany on their therapeutic journey?
My practice embraces individuals from age 16 onwards, as well as couples seeking relationship transformation. I cultivate a sanctuary for diverse clientele, including LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating the complex terrain of cultural identity and intersectionality. Each client brings a unique narrative deserving of specialized attention and respect.
Do you address psychological presentations?
Indeed, my practice offers sophisticated intervention approaches for individuals experiencing the aftermath of trauma, gender identity exploration, neurodivergent processing patterns, cultural integration complexities, and relationship dynamics requiring
recalibration. My therapeutic framework is designed to address these nuanced presentations with precision and empathic intelligence.
Therapeutic Engagement Framework
What is your session delivery modality?
The therapeutic space is curated exclusively within the digital realm, utilizing state-of-the-art secure virtual platforms that maintain the sacred confidentiality of our work while offering exceptional accessibility and convenience.
What temporal framework governs your sessions?
Each therapeutic dialogue unfolds within a precisely calibrated 60-minute framework, designed to optimize psychological exploration while respecting the boundaries necessary for integrative processing.
What investment is required for therapeutic engagement?
Individual therapeutic journeys are valued between £80 and £120, with precise determination based on the complexity of presenting concerns and specific therapeutic requirements.
Couples seeking relationship transformation invest £200 per session, reflecting the advanced expertise required for dyadic intervention.
What is your position regarding insurance facilitation?
My practice maintains comprehensive professional indemnity insurance, ensuring the highest standards of ethical practice. For clients wishing to utilize health insurance benefits, please initiate a direct consultation regarding your specific provider's parameters and reimbursement protocols.
Career
