Wendy Martens, M.Ed., B.Ed., RCC, is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with more than 26 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, and educators (in K-12 education). Drawing from a career in education, inclusive education, school counselling and educational leadership, she brings a deep understanding of the emotional, relational, and developmental challenges people encounter throughout life’s many seasons.

Wendy is passionate about creating a safe, compassionate, and authentic therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. She believes every person has inherent worth, unique strengths, and the capacity for healing and growth. Her counselling approach is person-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and integrative, recognizing that no two stories or healing journeys are the same.

Her practice is grounded in neuroscience, attachment, and trauma-informed care, while drawing from evidence-based approaches and strategies including cognitive behavioural therapy, emotion focused therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy and somatic therapy. As well, Wendy has specific training in the Neuroscience and Satir in the Sand Tray (NSST) counselling modality. She thoughtfully tailors each counselling experience to meet the unique needs, goals, and strengths of every client.

Christian faith is a foundational part of Wendy’s life and informs her understanding of hope and healing. For clients who desire faith-based counselling, she thoughtfully integrates Christian principles into therapy in a way that is compassionate, respectful, and clinically sound. She also warmly welcomes individuals and provides care that honours each person’s values and lived experiences.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, parenting, life transitions, or simply seeking greater clarity and resilience, Wendy considers it a privilege to walk alongside you. Her desire is that each client leaves feeling supported, understood, empowered, and hopeful as they move toward lasting healing and meaningful change.
