I draw from CBT, NLP, ACT, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.
If you're here, you're likely someone who thinks and feels deeply, and has spent a long time making yourself smaller so others could feel more comfortable. You're not broken – you're just ready to stop shrinking. Together, we'll work toward bringing you home to yourself – quieter in your mind, more present in your body, and freer to live more confidently and fully.

Kia ora, ko Aroha tōku ingoa. He uri ahau nō Ngāti Raukawa. Are you feeling overwhelmed and tired of carrying everything on your own? Many of the whai ora I see are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting pressure, or alcohol and drug use, often all mixed together.

Kia ora, I am a Counsellor with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. I support clients with varying issues, from anxiety, relationship difficulties and body image to disordered eating and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Growing up in several different countries has given me a deep appreciation for people of diverse cultures, identities and backgrounds, and has informed my open-minded understanding and acceptance of others. With experience providing long-term, trauma-informed therapy, I offer a safe, collaborative and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, supported and work towards your goals.

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.

Feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, low mood, burnout, or people-pleasing and unsure how to shift them? You may be navigating grief, relationship stress, relocation, or major life transitions where things feel heavier than you can carry alone. People often seek counselling when they notice repeated patterns such as avoidance, emotional overwhelm, difficulty setting boundaries, loneliness, or challenges adjusting to new environments, identities, cultures, and relationships. Counselling can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin making sense of these experiences.

Hi, I am a registered clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist living and practicing in Nelson, New Zealand. My primary focus is providing psychotherapy. Psychotherapy involves the careful application of techniques that help people change their behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and other personal characteristics in ways that enable them to thrive and cope with the stresses of living. I prefer to work with clients in person but if meeting in person is impossible or impractical, I can provide services online.

My approach draws on traditional and alternative counselling modalities. I use these approaches to empower my clients and my practice is strongly grounded in spirituality and energy psychology. Nourishment and healing are facilitated through energy-integration, visualisation, inner-child work and support in recovering a sense of self.

I work with those facing stress and life issues, with organisations & leaders (see Leaders.DrPaul.Online) and supervise professionals (see Supervision.DrPaul.Online). More than just counselling, as a Registered Clinical Psychologist, I offer structured assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based solutions. Clients' feedback: 'Paul was able to articulate what was going on for me'. I highly recommend him. His approach was 'methodical, thoughtful, interesting and implementable, and made me feel comfortable and listened to'. 'Seeing Paul, I am now more confident, relaxed and a better person as a result' (see Feedback.DrPaul.Online).
