Areas of Practice

Support for Schools

Support for Parents

Many parents face uncertainty when a child or young person announces they are 'trans' or 'non-binary'.

Parents often feel unsure how to respond and are concerned about the best way forward while keeping their child's long-term well-being at the heart of things.

Wendy offers a confidential space in Jersey where you can express your concerns.

Some parents gain clarity in a single meeting, while others benefit from ongoing support. Available in-person in Jersey or via Zoom.


Supervision

Wendy Durell offers supervision to qualified practitioners and to those in training. Wendy works with a range of creative arts therapists, including those who specialise in drama, art and play. She also works with counsellors and psychotherapists.

Supervision sessions can be held face-to-face in Jersey and via Zoom.


“Wendy is so kind to him. He says she sets him free. He is calming down. He still has a temper, but not like before.”
