I’m Marnie Wedlake. I’m a registered psychotherapist, a person with lived experience,
and an activist.
I believe most people share a fundamental desire to experience a greater sense of overall wellbeing, and that this is not created or maintained through processes and systems that medicalize and pathologize how we cope with our burdens, traumas and adversities. I’m convinced that wellbeing is a fundamental state that is available to all people. In this regard, I feel ‘modern’ mental health care has lost its way.
Personally, and professionally, the philosophy that guides me is perhaps best captured by my tagline: ‘Wellbeing is not prescribed. It is created. With ownership and intention.’
