Wendy Gardiner
I undertook my Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy Training at The Jansen Newman Institute in Sydney.
I am trained in a variety of modalities that will assist you to explore difficulties you are experiencing in life. One of the unique experiences of speaking with a trained counsellor is you experience being heard and not judged. Exploring emotions may not be easy, however exploring emotions with a trained counsellor allows you to express emotion in a safe and secure environment.
I have extensive experience in healthcare. During the last 26 years I have worked in acute and chronic health care settings as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Manager. My extensive experience in health care also contributes a unique quality to the counselling relationship. I have knowledge that is specific to physical illness and mental health illness. I have a particular interest in the needs of careers and the aged community. I also have an extensive network of community support resources.
