ABOUT
Meet Wendy Kempster
I am a Registered Counsellor currently in private practice in Umhlanga. I offer counselling, play therapy, group therapy and adults’ and children’s workshops.
My area of qualification is trauma resulting from any life experiences which cause severe emotional pain such as divorce, abuse, illness, crime, relationships, bereavement. The psychological intervention I offer is short term, supportive counselling and coping skills training.
Qualifications & Professional Experience
I am a qualified Junior Primary Teacher, hold a BA Honours Degree in Psychology, a Masters Degree in Social Science (Psychology) and have an intermediate certificate in Play Therapy. I am also a registered BWRT practioner.
I am registered with the Health Professions’ Council of SA and the Board of Health Care Funders.
My passion for psychology and understanding human behaviour began as a young adult and my studies and experiences have helped me to make sense of a chaotic world and live with more peace and harmony.
Understanding the Path to Healing
I believe every individual has the ability to live a joyful and peaceful life. Happiness is not determined solely by our external circumstances, but by how we perceive and experience them.
Many of our beliefs about ourselves and the world are formed during childhood. Negative experiences can create false perceptions and self-limiting beliefs that remain hidden in our unconscious minds. By bringing these beliefs into awareness, we can begin to examine and reshape them, creating opportunities for healing and growth.
To live fulfilling lives, we need to free ourselves from limiting beliefs and unresolved emotions.

Empowering Authentic Living
I am passionate about empowering people to reach their full potential by discovering their true self and living an authentic life.
I believe each person should walk their own path and re-discover their unique self at their own pace while being gently supported. As a counsellor I offer a safe, sacred space in which to do this.
