About Wendy
Wendy uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client in control of the pace and direction of sessions. She listens, reflects and asks gentle questions rather than pushing homework or fixed exercises. This approach can help people who want time to think things through and make their own decisions.
Her background includes 15 years as a teacher, which she says helped her understand different ways people respond to stress and change. She also volunteers at a local hospice and has developed experience supporting bereavement and end-of-life concerns.
Wendy works with a wide range of life difficulties such as trauma, intimate partner violence, divorce, parenting strains, ADHD, body image and chronic illness. She emphasises compassion and empathy and identifies as an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
She describes her style as relaxed and informal. Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying to crochet in spare moments. If you are looking for a counsellor who listens and helps you find your own path, Wendy offers a steady, person-centred way of working.
How Wendy's Person-Centred Work Fits Online
Wendy primarily works using a person-centred approach, which focuses on the client's own priorities and pace. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what is said and helps the person make their own choices about next steps. This style suits issues like anxiety, grief, relationship problems and eating and food-related concerns where people often need time to explore feelings.Because the aim is collaborative, deciding which methods to try is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and help decide the best way to proceed together, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work can include making sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reducing time spent travelling and helping to keep therapy consistent during life changes. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to find what suits your routine. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use person-centred methods, often adapt how they work to match a client's goals and daily life.
