Therapists
Glenys Henshaw
I am working from the Cashmere area of Christchurch and look forward to you contacting me.
Primary to my counselling is the therapeutic relationship. I see my role to provide the conditions for this to be developed and be maintained. A place that is safe and non-judgmental that allows you, my client, to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions without prejudice. A place where you feel listened to. A relationship which is responsive and caring, that allows you self-exploration, growth and healing. A place for you to just be. I trust, given this supportive environment, you will make positive choices and changes to your life.
I work with clients from 20 years of age and over; in areas of grief and loss; with trauma – recent and past; with anxiety, stress and depression. I am a provider for ACC, for people who have experienced sexual abuse.
I come to counselling with a large kete of experiences and an open mind. My experiences include work in the Health and Education sector; in small and large businesses; in New Zealand and overseas. I have worked with and for different nationalities and ethnic groups. From this background I bring an open mind and acceptance of new experiences and challenges.
My counselling style is a person centred approach using tools and techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution Focus therapy, Narrative Therapy and others.
I do not offer EMDR
Session fee: I work a sliding scale for fees between $120.00 – 145.00 per session

* I only work two days a week in Private Practice. Unfortunately I am not able to take on any new clients currently. *
I am a Registered Psychologist working with individual adults and older adults to improve well-being and teach new skills, within a biopsychosocial model. In other words, a holistic approach. The wider cultural, environmental and spiritual context in which we live and work has an impact on, and is a source of, our health and happiness.
I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Positive Psychology approaches and strategies – as well as others appropriate and useful to you.
I also provide pain education and self-management strategies for chronic pain (pain is an emotional experience as well as a physical one which is why psychologists are involved).
Feeling overwhelmed, or in pain, or continually being triggered by old memories is distressing. But think of it as a signal. What’s going on? What needs to change? Let’s work together to make things better.
As a psychologist I bring knowledge, skills and evidence-based approaches to the therapy relationship and as a person I bring compassion and respect. I value all the chapters in my work life – assessment, career counselling, stress management in the UK; counselling and coaching in Christchurch through the earthquake era, and achieving registration as a psychologist in Aotearoa/New Zealand in 2016. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share time with amazing people I’d never have met if it weren’t for my chosen field of work.
My profession is regulated by The Psychologists Board and I am a member of the NZ Psychological Society and the British Psychological Society.
Session fee: $190/hr

* I offer Online and Telephone Counselling only *
Finding a counsellor with whom you can connect and develop a therapeutic relationship can be a daunting task. Over the past 10+ years I have offered counselling in agencies, schools and private practice and worked with clients from 16 years old and above. As a counsellor, part of my role is to work with you to encourage the positive changes you’d like to make. What I bring is a non-judgemental environment where positive change can happen. It is a safe, collaborative and confidential space, which recognises that everyone’s normal is different and that your experiences are unique.
I work in areas of bereavement, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, life transitions and the kind of life challenges that are often too difficult to name or describe.
I have integrated various counselling philosophies into my practice but central to my approach is the person centred modality. Dave Mearns, former Director of the Counselling Unit and Professor of Counselling at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow describes the essence of person centred counselling as follows; “The person-centred counsellor must always remember that they are a guest within the client’s world of experience.” This statement resonates strongly with me, as it is central to my beliefs and identifies that the client is the expert of their own life within our counselling alliance.
Session Fee: I use a sliding scale for fees which range between $110.00 – $140.00 per session
