Meet Wendy Kempsell

Wendy is a counsellor and therapist and has been working with children that have experienced trauma for some years now, supporting them to deal with whats going on at home and at school.

Her interest in the area of trauma informed practice was initially awakened from serving in the military and witnessing individuals struggling with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).

Later, working in the disability sector she realised that the trauma responses children were displaying were sometimes being treated as ADHD and Autism. What she observed was the trauma experiences were often being overlooked.

Originally from the UK, she spent 23 years in the military before moving to New Zealand and training as a counsellor and therapist.

She found that body based therapies were far more effective in supporting trauma healing and this passion has lead to her current trauma informed practice.

She began to work with children and started seeing a gap in what was being offered to both teachers and parents alike around trauma training, this led her to develop online and in person courses.

Wendy has created a course for teachers to learn about how to practice in a trauma informed way. Utilising her years of research, experiential practice and experience as a counsellor, Wendy brings her expertise to this course. This course is designed specifically for teachers. We will soon have a course available for parents and other professionals.
