Background and approach
She blends insight work with mindfulness and attention to emotions to help people feel less stuck. With twenty years’ experience, Wendy draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques help break unhelpful thinking and coping cycles. Wendy also uses client-centred and narrative methods to listen to people’s stories and support them in making sense of life changes. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the drive to change habits or tackle tricky decisions.
Sessions are offered online and face to face in the United Kingdom. Wendy is a BACP counsellor and has spent years supporting people with grief, anger, body image and parenting stresses. Her practical, down-to-earth approach aims to help people take small, steady steps toward feeling better.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions CBT tasks can include short exercises, thought records and practical experiments to reduce anxiety and manage mood.
Client-centred counselling gives the person space to tell their story while the counsellor reflects and supports. This approach helps people feel heard and work through what matters most to them, whether that is grief, parenting strain or self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose what fits their goals, needs and preferences. That way methods can be adapted as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes regular work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are close to a face-to-face session, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging works well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to increase access and continuity of care.
