About Wendy Pearson
Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor | NCPS Member
My Professional Background
I undertook my training as a therapeutic counsellor and mentor after working for many years in environments which did not align with my own personal values and beliefs. Seeking to make a meaningful impact, I transitioned to independent practice five years ago.
I am now pleased to operate a successful counselling and mentoring practice, working in accordance with my core principles, in a person-centred approach, recognising we are all unique and have differing strengths and needs.
I feel privileged to support a diverse range of adults and adolescents as they pursue their journeys of self-discovery.
