About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a counsellor who helps people work through relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, life changes and stress. She supports people with anxiety, depression, ADHD and challenges around self-esteem, parenting and career decisions. She also offers help with LGBT issues, compassion fatigue and anger, plus more specific concerns such as body image and chronic illness.
Wendy aims for a calm, non-judgemental space where conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She listens for what matters to you, then works alongside you to try new ways of thinking and coping. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past patterns affect present choices.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas, with mindfulness woven into the work. That mix is used to help people notice difficult thoughts, reconnect with values and build small, manageable changes.
Wendy has four years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. For international arrangements she is not currently taking clients outside the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions can offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that match their values. It is often used when someone feels stuck or uncertain about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns such as anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns, which can help when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems are a concern.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the person’s needs. This is collaborative - adjustments can be made as sessions progress so the style fits the client rather than the other way around.
The original profile states Wendy offers flexible session options including video, phone and text-based therapy; please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and medical appointments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats also help match practical needs - for example phone calls can be helpful when bandwidth or visual focus is limited, while text can suit people who prefer to write between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these options to the goals and pace each person wants.
