Introduction

Hi, I'm Glenda and I have been a therapist/counsellor for nearly two decades now. I am also a Master Trainer of coaches and mindfulness teachers having taught across Australasia for 16 years - the skills of emotional regulation and effective communication. I use mindfulness based modalities such as ACT and CFT of which I have trained under the founders of these theories in the UK and Australia.

My Health Science Psychology also means I include positive psychology (the strength of strength based interventions) and theories by Gottman and Attachment Theory. My further trainings are in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Relational Life Therapy - these mean I engage in helping people work alongside trauma experiences with a skilful approach to compassionate healing.  

Prolific throughout Australasia, I have helped couples and individuals learn new habits, communicate effectively, and heal wounds for more than 15 years. I am a leading therapist within mindfulness modalities such as ACT, RLT, and CFT but also combine Attachment Theory science to the sessions I offer at rooms in two locations over Auckland and online also. I am a NZAC member and a Master Trainer of coaches and mindfulness teachers.

I fully believe that given skills of attending, attunning and awareness, to our needs and those of others, everyone gains from deepening relationship. I am open to a 15minutes discussion about your needs should you feel that would help you see if we are a good fit for the work ahead. Kindly G🌸

Specialisations

The combination of anxious and avoidant individuals is never more difficult than when it presents issues for a mix of neurodivergent and neurotypical partners.  This is a speciality of mine.

I use mindfulness techniques, 'effective communication' scripts, and release from the 'adaptive child's' patterns of histronic attempts to fix partners - and offer my support as people move deeper into closeness/intimacy.  I teach tools - that calm the nervous system and guide couples to a new way of being interdependent without co-dependency.  

It's a great pleasure to be at the point of change for couples and individuals. My training will work with the background of your journey, whilst you are learning new tools to truly thrive.

Most common issues I support people with:

  • Adult ADHD diagnosis within relationship
  • Attachment Style analysis for 'effective communication' skills
  • Mindfulness and Relationships: Conscious change or uncoupling
  • LGBTQ+ relationship dynamics
  • Living with Narcissim in relationship
