Kia ora, I work with children aged 5-17 years. I walk alongside children in a safe and therapeutic environment to help them achieve their goals in living the best life they can. I encourage working alongside parents so they can help their tamariki grow and flourish.

As a Narrative Play Therapist I collaborate with children in a way that harnesses their differences, and uses their imagination for rewriting the problem into a solution. When it is useful, I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness into the play therapy sessions.

I live with my husband and daughter and animals in West Auckland. I enjoy reading, coffees out and spending time with family.

I believe there is always hope for change in life. Although change is inevitable and uncertain, such uncertainty also brings new possibilities for our lives and identities. We are each richly endowed with unique skills and knowledge that can support us to respond to the challenges we face.

I am skilled in a range of approaches, including existential and narrative therapies, to work in a way that suits your unique needs and situation. Our focus will be on what is meaningful to you, so you can move toward what is important in your life.

When I am not counselling, I spend most of my time reading, meeting with friends, playing the guitar, surfing, and walking on the beautiful beaches of the Hibiscus Coast.

Hey, I‘m Wendy. I’m from Shanghai, China. I have been working as a psychological counsellor in China for over fifteen years. My clients include individuals, couples, families and children.

My treatment is gentle and inclusive. The theories and techniques I use are narrative therapy, imagined dream and working on the unconscious; emotional focused couple therapy, family therapy and play therapy. I use these skills to build a relationship with clients and build a secure platform for them to explore their underlying needs and goals. I can support clients to be themselves, and help them manage what they can control, and accept what they can’t, so they discover themselves as an inclusive and resilient person.

In my spare time I like to sit by the sea and watch the tide come and go; I love reading, flowers and plants, music and traveling.

嘿，我是温迪。 我来自中国上海。 我在中国做心理咨询已经超过15年了。

我的客户包括个人、夫妻、家庭和儿童。 我的治疗风格是温和的和包容的。 所使用的理论和技术有叙事疗法、梦的积极想象和对无意识的工作; 夫妻治疗，家庭治疗和游戏治疗。 我可以利用这些技能与客户建立关系，并为他们建立一个安全的平台。

客户可以使用这个平台来探索他们潜在的需求和目标。 我可以帮助客户做自己，帮助他们管理他们能控制的，接受他们不能控制的。

做一个包容和有弹性的人。
