Background and approach

She helps people make sense of difficult feelings such as grief, shame, guilt or isolation. She also works with issues like addictions, communication problems, chronic illness and body image. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Her background includes long experience in education, where she supported children with learning and behavioural needs, and work in the health sector using calming body techniques to support emotional wellbeing. That practical experience informs how she works now with adults seeking relief from anxiety and mood problems. Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

She follows the organisation's professional and ethical standards and takes regular supervision to reflect on her work. People can expect straightforward, person-centred conversations that aim to uncover unhelpful patterns and build new coping habits. Wendy emphasises small, achievable changes and offers support for life events such as bereavement, separation and illness.

Therapy is delivered through a subscription-based system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. International clients are not currently accepted.

Practical approaches for online anxiety support

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a straightforward way. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person lead the pace of change; it is useful when someone needs a calm place to make sense of strong feelings.

She also draws on techniques that combine body-centred calming methods with psychological work to reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety and panic. These methods teach simple breathing and grounding strategies and can help when stress shows up as tension, breathlessness or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where the person's preferences guide choices about techniques and session format.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another room, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer not to use voice or video. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
