I'm a Clinical Psychologist who works with clients to explore how their feelings, beliefs, and experiences impact on their daily life. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients and creating goals that we can work towards together. I provide skills and strategies that support you to meet those goals and allow you to live a more fulfilling life. I work with adults with various difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, chronic pain, PTSD, sleep, grief, and adjustment to life changes. While my main modality is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I also draw upon other modalities and I aim to be flexible so I can meet the client's needs.

I support adolescents and adults, and have worked alongside people navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, significant life changes, and chronic health conditions.
In my work, I aim to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where people can talk openly about what’s going on for them. I view therapy as collaborative and practical, focused on understanding your experiences, identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and building skills to manage difficult thoughts, emotions, and life stressors.

I primarily work with women who have been "the strong ones" and now feel they can't go on. Their bodies speak through anxiety, pain, or insomnia; they struggle to set boundaries and feel disconnected from who they once were, especially if they have migrated. They seek a safe space to let go, understand what's happening to them, and reclaim their voice without guilt.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck—overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship strain, unresolved trauma, or the weight of past experiences. They may be searching for clarity, confidence, and emotional stability, wanting healthier connections and a stronger sense of self. They’re ready for change, even if unsure where to begin. What they want most is to feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, grow, and build a life that finally feels calm, meaningful, and authentically their own.

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.
