About Wendy
Wendy Cadman is an AASW-accredited social worker with 15 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and loss. She works in a calm, nonjudgmental way. She aims to help people feel heard and to develop practical tools for day-to-day life.
Wendy commonly helps people who are dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and mood difficulties. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the concerns she supports, alongside broader anxiety and stress. She also works with issues such as caregiver stress, first responder and veteran-related difficulties, and problems with communication and relationships.
Her approach is flexible and tailored. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Sessions focus on building coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and addressing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Wendy aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through painful experiences and try out new ways of coping. She writes treatment plans with clear steps and practical goals so progress can be tracked.
People who want to start are encouraged to take a small first step. Wendy recognises that asking for help takes courage and that support can make daily life easier. She works in English and practises in Australia.
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach she uses is focused work on anxiety and panic, which involves learning breath and grounding techniques and gradually testing out feared situations in a controlled way to reduce intense panic responses. Another strand of her practice addresses grief and trauma through paced processing and practical coping strategies to manage strong emotions and daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss options with each person and choose methods that match their goals, concerns and life situation. She aims to make the plan collaborative so people feel involved in what they try between sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, turn off video if they prefer, or choose a session length that fits a lunch break. Confirm the current session options when you schedule.
