Afrikaans Speaking Psychologists

Hi! I’m Wendy. I’m a dedicated psychologist who loves working with adult clients wishing to improve their mental health. I have been working in psychology since 2012.
I take a client centred approach, and work with a range of evidence-based approaches individually tailored to suit to your preference and needs.
I have lived most of my life in remote, rural and regional communities. However, I have travelled and lived extensively overseas, and believe this diverse range of experiences also compliments and informs my practice.
I aim to be a caring, approachable, empathetic and collaborative psychologist who takes time to understand your challenges and assist you working toward your goals in a practical and compassionate way.

Hello and welcome!

I’m really looking forward to meeting you and supporting you through whatever difficulties you’re experiencing in your life. I understand it can be hard to make the first step to speak to someone, so well done for taking this brave step.

My approach is warm, compassionate, non-judgemental and down to earth. I believe it’s so important to feel heard, understood and validated in our work together.

I also believe that knowledge is power so my approach involves helping you to understand yourself and life patterns, as well as providing you with the tools and strategies needed for change and wellbeing.

First of all, I believe that it takes a great amount of courage to seek help and want to speak to someone. Hence as a practitioner, I do not take this lightly and would want to give every person the best possible opportunity to grow and manage their life challenges. Every individual comes with different life experiences and knowledge and I would like to work together with them to help develop skills, understanding, and other resources in a warm and compassionate space.

James’ approach to mental health is about mind-body integration and looking at the “whole person”. Mental health influences how we feel, think and move, how we communicate and relate to the world, and can seriously impact our physical health. James will hep make sense of how this all fits together, to explore unhelpful thoughts and behaviour, and identify different options.
