I've worked with many university students struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, relationship struggles, trauma & PTSD, loss & grief, low self-esteem, perfectionism, general stress, being away from home, issues related to sexuality, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity .
Given my work at the university, I'm familiar with the many stressors students face these days. I'm also well versed with both on and off campus supports. I'm a strong advocate for students, i.e. helping them to access supports through Accessibility Services, Counselling & Health Services, etc.

Spiritual psychotherapy is not about a particular religious or spiritual approach. Spiritual psychotherapy is based on the understanding that, in spite of stresses that may cause us to react from a place of fear and Shadow, there is a resilient part of each person - the Spirit - that is constant, though it may feel unreachable at times. Spiritual psychotherapy utilizes varied approaches to reconnect to an experience of self that is engaged, empowered, and enthusiastic about life.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a psychological treatment that has been scientifically proven to be effective for a wide variety of mental health difficulties. The goal of CBT is to identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that may be contributing to emotional difficulties and keeping you stuck. CBT is based on the premise that how we think (e.g., our beliefs and assumptions) impacts our feelings and behaviours.

Wendy Kenrick, Registered Psychotherapist
Resource Type
Description

I focus on helping motivated students and professionals manage burnout, anxiety, and depression. I employ techniques from a number of different therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, as well as using more classic psychotherapeutic techniques.
After working with high-performing professionals for over 15 years in the IT industry, and as a former Software Development Program Manager, I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the challenges that many STEM students are faced with. Helping clients improve their ability to navigate complex life decisions and manage stress to avoid burnout are key elements of my full-time practice. Life can be very demanding and, in my experience, having additional support can really make a difference. If you are thinking of reaching out, please do. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss how I may be able to help.
