About Me

Counselling Experience

My name is Wendie and I qualified as a counsellor in 2002, while training I provided short term and long term counselling to women who had experienced childhood abuse.

At the same time I worked at Leicester Rape Crisis as the Project Administrator and later on at the Quetzal Project as the Charities' Co-coordinator.

Since 2003 I have specialised in Short Term Telephone Counselling for an Employee Assistance Program, providing Counselling to individuals who present with work and/or personal problems. This has brought me into contact with a wide range of people and issues.

In addition I have recently enjoyed working as a volunteer counsellor at Leicester Counselling Centre providing long term counselling to men and women

All these experiences have given me the opportunity to work short term, long term, and time limited with people from diverse backgrounds with many different problems and requirements. I find that many people are able to resolve their difficulties within a short space of time allowing them to move on with their lives.

Training

Throughout my career I have continued to expand my training and learning, and I engage in a minimum of 30 hours continued professional development per year.
