Wendy has worked with many people in her clinical work over the years. She has mostly worked with women as it's mostly women who present to therapy. However, in her time as a mature aged student, she worked for a time with men who were bereaved following divorce and separation from their children. As a new graduate, she worked in the disability field for six years and focused mainly on families with children who had special needs. She helped develop a parenting program for parents of school-aged children and values what she learned from all the wonderful stories told by brave and courageous parents who never gave up fighting to get the very best for their child.

 

   The collective experiences from research, education, developing and running group programs and many years of private practice have given Wendy a wealth of insights. She has now published her first book and is continuing with her writing projects, her second book underway. 

 

   During the writing process, Wendy has had the opportunity to explore and revisit relationship issues and has been reminded of how important our relationship with ourselves determines the quality of all our other relationships. She sees that authenticity is vitally important in developing the sense of self and that this is integral in the ability to make healthy choices in forming our relationships. She advocates the ‘Knowledge is Power’ principle, providing people with the information they need to make better life choices.

​

    Wendy has always been passionate about her work and delights in seeing the positive changes in people, especially when she receives news down the track about some of the successful outcomes. She delights in helping people improve their mental health and has found that the quality of their relationships play an integral role in their ability to develop and maintain sound psychological health and emotional well-being. This is what has inspired her to write her first book.

​

   Although Wendy does not see herself as religious, nor is she involved in any particular religion, spirituality plays an important role in her life as she passionately believes in a higher power and that we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience. She believes that we are all here for a reason, there are no mistakes and that it's important to find our soul purpose in our lives. She sees her role as just being a part in people's journeys as she has the pleasure of getting to know them and supporting them through a particular time of their lives.
