Wendy Schuster, M. Couns., Grad.Cert. Couns., Dip. G.Design, (Grad) CCAA No 83078

I provide individual counselling and therapy for adults (18yr+). My style of counselling and therapy is to work collaboratively with clients to create a safe space to explore and address their issues.  I listen in a non-judgemental way, with empathy, understanding, and confidentiality. Only when a client feels comfortable with a therapisit can they experience the safety needed to explore their problems.

My approach uses the therapeutic relationship as the focus for treatment and is based on Interpersonal Process Therapy.  I integrate this effective approach which includes: Interpersonal-Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioural, Family Systems, and Attachment Theories, with Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I tailor my approach with clients because each person's life experiences and their responses to a problem are unique. So I also draw from a range of other therapies to suit the individual such as TA, Body Awareness, Narrative Therapy, and the use of Written /Art Expression.

Previously I had a career as a creative director and now I bring this sense of creativity and flexibility to my style of counselling & therapy. I have a flexible approach to how many sessions a client determines they need.

I am qualified with a Master of Counselling and Grad. Cert. Couns., as well as professional training in a variety of therapeutic approaches. 

I am a graduate member of the professional counselling association, CCAA (Member Association of PACFA).
