About Wendi
When your child is struggling with big emotions, it can be hard to know how to help. Some feelings are complex and need extra support. I offer that support to children and teens through a child-centred, connection-focused approach informed by attachment theory, family systems, and mindfulness. My own childhood experiences with divorce, along with volunteering in hospice settings, have given me a deep personal understanding of grief, loss, and life transitions. As a wife and mom, I value connection, warmth, and creating safe spaces for growth
As an experienced educator and school counsellor, I understand the pressures children face. I support children and teens with anxiety, school stress, family changes like divorce or separation, and grief. My play-based, strength-focused approach uses sand tray, creative expression, and age-appropriate CBT to build emotional awareness, coping skills, confidence, and resilience.
If you’re worried about your child and unsure how to help, you are not alone. Reaching out is a first step. Beachwood counselling is a safe, welcoming space for children and teens to share, learn, and grow. I offer a free 15-minute consultation and would love to help give your child a warm, positive counselling experience. Visit beachwoodcounselling.ca for more info.
