Anxiety Therapists in Dunedin
The experience of engaging in counselling is a deeply personal journey that affects all of us in different ways, and sometimes in ways we would never have expected.
My areas of specialisation include couples work, family work, trauma, men’s work, mid-life crisis, personality insight and supervision, both clinical and professional. These sit at the heart of how I approach my clinical practice.
By talking together through your concerns, counselling and supervision can support you to see solutions you didn’t know were there. It can also help you find ways to manage more effectively and move forward in your life.

Does the thought of going to bed makes you worry?
I specialise in treating insomnia and sleep difficulties. Insomnia is not a mental health disorder per se. It is a problem with the human sleep wake system. Insomnia doesn't respond to standard psychotherapy and requires specialist therapy using CBT-I. I am NZ's only Board Certified Behavioral Sleep Medicine practitioner.

You have spent years achieving things you never quite let yourself feel proud of. You can fight hard for everyone around you - and go quiet when it is your own corner to hold.
I work with professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs ready to resolve what has been holding them back - at the level it actually lives.
Using hypnotherapy, Havening Techniques, and NLP, we work with the patterns and nervous system responses running quietly in the background - and resolve them at the root.
Most clients notice a meaningful shift within the first session.
Free 30-minute Discovery Conversation — no obligation.

Relationship doubts, anxiety, long held patterns of behaviours, substance use, grief, aspiration for relief from effects of childhood traumas
I help individuals to thrive - predominately in relationship. As a couples counsellor/therapist I use Positive Psych, Relational Life Therapy, and Attachment Theory; adding mindfulness (presence skills) so clients can co-regulate, in session and in their lives. This model is a place of sharing - where any work that the individual needs, is witnessed and compassionately attuned to, by the partner. Many of my clients are Adult Diagnosed ADHD or AuDHD; Gifted; or partnered with such. 'Normal' is as unique as single individual I see. With communication skills, honesty, and intent - we can see you back to thriving.

Many people who find their way to this work have spent a long time trying to put words to experiences that don’t always fit easily into ordinary conversation. They may feel things intensely, think in complex or creative ways, or find that their inner world moves in images, sensations, or metaphor rather than straightforward explanations.
I work especially well with people who feel deeply, think creatively, or have struggled to find therapy that makes space for imagination, sensitivity, or non-linear ways of processing experience.

I work with warmth, empathy, authenticity, and a genuine belief in the potential for growth. I practise collaboratively, honouring your needs and preferences.

Maybe you overthink, struggle to say no, feel anxious when others are upset, or quietly wonder “who am I now
I specialise in ‘Good Girl Syndrome’—a pattern many women learned early in life where being helpful, agreeable or “easy” became the safest way to feel accepted or loved. Over time, this can leave you burnt out, disconnected from yourself & constantly looking outside yourself for reassurance or permission.

I can support you with challenges around things like relationships, self-belief, grief, motivation, anxiety and addictions.
Kia ora, I’m Glen, I’m a counsellor and I help people to find things.
Find peace. Find strength. Find connection. Find energy. Find answers. Find purpose. Find ways forward.
Because we can get a bit lost when we're challenged by life. Stuck. Confused. Conflicted.
To me, counselling is about making time and space in your week to untangle things, lay them out, move the pieces around and start to get a better picture of what is going on.
Then we can work with life rather than against it and hopefully move towards better days. Visit lostandfoundcounselling.co.nz for more info.
