Kendall is an accredited mental health social worker and his career experience in the helping profession (18 years) has been both in generalist counselling roles through his employment positions in statutory Government departments and more recently in adult community mental health. Kendall has had exposure to counselling across the lifespan from youth to adults and older generations. He has also had experience working with Indigenous clients and those from other diverse communities who use English as a second language. Kendall has, during his career, been deployed to support community members “on the ground” at several disasters including both bushfires and floods and he is aware of the unique requirements of those needing support in such a crisis. Being a father to three young adults, Kendall is very aware of the stressors that can be experienced by young people who are facing the challenges that the contemporary world presents (both good and bad) and can assist by teaching strategies that can be employed by both parents and young people alike to better manage these stressors. Kendall holds the view that a client comes to therapy to address problems that they are encountering but that they hold the answers and solutions to these problems. It is the role of the counsellor to help and assist the client to find those solutions and to provide strategies to help them manage and overcome their presenting problem(s). Kendall has a passion for working with clients to better manage both anxiety and depression. Kendall employs a range of strategies when working with clients including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Kendall has a strong interest in mindfulness as an approach to managing various mental health conditions and he describes his overall approach to working with clients as operating from a strengths perspective, which is essentially about identifying the strengths that are inherently present in everyone.
