Hi, my name is Wendy Holmes and I would like to give you a warm welcome, and a thank you for visiting my page. I am a qualified Psycho-therapeutic Integrated therapist/counsellor working in the UK. I believe we are who we are today due to our past experiences, however I also believe they do not have to define who we are and want to be. I offer a non judgmental, supportive and safe space with a compassionate, sensitive and curious approach for us to work together for the future you want. I offer video, phone and text sessions allowing the flexibility we need in today's busy world.

I have experience in helping clients with a variety of problems including trauma, physical/emotional and narcissistic abuse, grief and loss, relationship troubles, intimacy related issues, female changes, domestic abuse and many more. Taking the first step can feel hard and overwhelming, reach out today and let me help you get started.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Only a few sessions in and Wendy has been a godsend! She provides a safe comforting space to be myself and voice my struggles, whilst equipping me with so many tools to assess my situation, manage my anxiety and achieve personal growth in a way that is gentle and constructive. Thank you for everything!
