More about Wendy
- 35 years' experience
- Female
- AASW
I am credentialed in Australia, a mental health social worker, and a clinically registered family therapist with 35 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients deal with a range of concerns, some of which include stress and anxiety, LGBT+-related issues, coping with addiction recovery and grief and depression.
The first step towards seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My clinical practice is primarily a trauma-informed relational approach aiming to build a collaborative therapeutic conversation with the client. I apply the principles of CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapeutic modalities if appropriate.
I look forward to meeting with you to further your goals for positive change. Wendy B

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
