Kendra uses a strength-based, collaborative approach to counselling, maintaining a consistent appreciation for clients as the experts in their own life.

  • Social and performance anxiety
  • Depression/low mood
  • Body image and self-esteem
  • Eating disorders and relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S)
  • Interpersonal trauma/abuse
  • Relational conflict and communication challenges
  • Perfectionism and stress management
  • Life transitions and personal development
  • Sport and mental performance support for athletes

Given the diversity of each person’s presenting concerns and desired outcomes, Kendra draws from a range of therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
  • Solution Focussed Therapy (SFT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Mental Fitness & Mental Performance Techniques
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Trauma Informed Practice
