How Wendy works
She also worked for many years as a mental health nurse and has published research on autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction. This mix of clinical work and research informs a thoughtful, evidence-minded approach. Wendy uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working to build a trusting conversation.
She also draws on existential perspectives to help people find meaning during life shifts. Mindfulness practices and elements of the Gottman Method are used where they fit the client’s goals. Practical programmes are available for emotional regulation, ADHD coaching, addiction concerns, sleep and stress management, and relationship repair.
She offers assessments and recommends reliable resources to track progress and support change. Sessions aim to be straightforward and tailored to the individual. Wendy takes a collaborative stance, listening first and then offering options.
Her work often supports people dealing with trauma, grief, self-esteem problems, career uncertainty and long-term health or caregiving stresses. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online counselling and support
Attachment-based work focuses on how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and feelings of safety. It aims to help people recognise relational habits and build more supported ways of connecting and coping, useful for relationship strain, grief and attachment issues.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection. This approach helps people who need a calm, accepting space to make sense of emotions and choices.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, anxiety and stress regulation. These skills can be used between sessions to support day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has worked in the past, then suggest options to try. Decisions about methods are made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing fits better into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caring responsibilities and other routines.
