LifeCo Psychology team member Wendy Faust is an ACC registered therapist. In her 15 years as a Clinical Psychologist Wendy has worked in both public and private settings, providing essential mental health support to individuals. Her practice has included: therapy, clinical supervision, coaching, and facilitation of mental health and resilience workshops for a wellbeing organization.
Wendy has gained extensive experience working with adults and young people struggling with anxiety, trauma, loss and grief, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, life transitions (e.g. menopause), and unhelpful behaviours. Wendy is contracted through ACC for trauma treatment. She has also worked with the corporate sector supporting professionals to successfully navigate today’s rapidly changing and demanding environment.
Her aim is to empower individuals to achieve meaningful and sustainable change in their lives and she is particularly passionate about cultivating strong connections and relationships with her clients.
Wendy is experienced in the following treatment options:
- Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) which helps clients reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and structured manner, often experiencing a reduction in emotional distress and symptoms related to past traumas.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which places a focus on valued living – knowing what motivates our purpose in daily life and work. This model also highlights the importance of self-acceptance and building on strengths.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to their distress.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients explore and integrate different parts of their personality, fostering inner harmony and healing. By understanding and engaging with these internal parts, clients develop greater self-awareness and resilience to navigate life’s challenges effectively.
