More about Wendy
- 22 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I have been in practice now for almost 20 years, I am a warm, empathic human being who believes that at some points in our lives we benefit from having someone to work with us to untangle life events and where we find ourselves currently, we can do this. I am a firm believer that we all have our own answers if we have someone to assist us in accessing them. I have worked with many presenting issues, particularly abuse in all its forms and the resulting trauma, you may have experienced this as a child or adult or both. It's not always the big things we think of as "trauma" it is anything a person experiences as traumatic for them. Therefore this presentation often includes relationship challenges, addiction, depression, anxiety, anger, or a mental health diagnosis. I work in a preventative way and believe diagnosis is not always necessary. However, understanding ourselves on an emotional level and working through unhelpful emotions often gets us to where we would like to be. I am a registered member of the BACP here in the UK.
When I'm not working in the field of mental health I spend time with my family and my two labradors, I like to be outdoors walking and watching horse events. I also love to paint in watercolor and try new mediums. My current experiment is with acrylic pouring!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

It isn't easy for me to trust anyone, but I do trust Wendy
I always look forward to my sessions with Wendy. Our sessions are a friendly chat through my thoughts in a really beneficial way. Wendys warmth makes it really easy to discuss all topics and she always has an interesting view and directs the conversation in ways that really help me understand myself.
Kind, considerate, multifaceted in her approach to explaining things if not immediately understood, patient. I don’t consider her a therapist: I’d consider her a friend.
Compassionate and caring, patient and understanding. All that a therapist needs to make you feel valued and respected. So far Wendy has been all of these and even at this early stage I feel comfortable taking to her.
Wendy is a great therapist. Wise and supportive.
Wendy is great!
She's lovely person I feel easy to talk to hear. And she have a professional trauma informed approach. The sessions helped to understand my issues better and be able to work trough.
I've been working with Wendy for almost half a year now and it's helped me a lot through a life crisis at first, before working on more general issues that will have a substantial impact on my life. She's very empathic, knowledgeable and kind, and I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Wendy is understanding, compassionate and takes time to really listen. She has a great way of knowing what is right and gives honest and constructive advice.
Wendy’s kind and wise; experienced and steadfast- a great source of comfort and guidance.
I’ve had three sessions so far with Wendy and I’m finding it really useful. She’s great at listening to whatever issues you have and has some really useful insight and feedback. I feel I can get a well thought out, not judgmental place to discuss my problems.
