About Wendy
Wendy Herriott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing grief, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression and major life changes. She offers online and telephone counselling for people who want a calm space to talk things through from home. Wendy aims to listen without judgement and help clients untangle what matters most to them.
Wendy completed a Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling from Middlesex University and holds a BACP credential.
Background and approach
She also gained a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. Her background includes volunteering with a local bereavement and loss support service. Her practice, Saam Counselling Services, takes its name from the Afrikaans word for together.
Wendy uses an integrative, client-centred style that adapts to what each person brings to a session. Some sessions will look at past experiences, while others focus on present thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily reactions. Wendy now works primarily with adults who are mourning a loss and supports them to tell their stories and begin to process grief.
She describes grief as an individual path and offers to accompany people through that journey at their own pace. Sessions are described as welcoming, inclusive and supportive. Wendy encourages clients to pause and reflect, and to consider practical next steps that match their needs.
She emphasises that clients matter and that the counselling relationship is a shared process.
How Wendy uses client-centred work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping a person find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and follows the client’s lead to build understanding. This approach is well suited to feelings like grief, anxiety and depression because it gives space to express difficult emotions without pressure.Wendy also works integratively, bringing attention to how thoughts, emotions, behaviours and bodily sensations connect. Some sessions may look into past experiences to understand current patterns, while others focus on skills and practices to cope day to day. Together the therapist and client decide which direction feels most helpful, so the approach is adjusted as needs and goals become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
