Background and approach

Sessions aim to be relaxed and non-judgemental so clients can speak openly and make decisions at their own pace. She has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates her professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Before becoming a counsellor she spent 15 years teaching, an experience she says gave her insight into how people learn and change. Wendy has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimate partner violence, depression, ADHD, and chronic stress. She volunteers at a local hospice, where she gained additional experience supporting people through bereavement.

Outside of work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and attempting crochet in spare moments. She is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and aims to offer a warm, compassionate space for people to talk through difficult issues.

How Wendy's approach works online

Wendy uses a client-centred approach which focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. This style involves open conversation, reflective listening and gentle prompts to help people clarify what matters and decide on next steps. It can be useful for anxiety, relationship worries, grief and self-esteem concerns.

Her hospice volunteering and prior teaching background mean she brings practical experience alongside counselling work. Finding the right approach is a joint process - she will collaborate with each person to figure out what methods and pace suit their situation and goals. The aim is to adapt how sessions run to the individual's needs rather than follow a fixed plan.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life while keeping contact consistent.
