About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing grief, life changes and end-of-life concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, anxiety and stress, and complexities like compassion fatigue and ADHD. Wendy offers a calm, collaborative space for people to talk through what matters most to them and decide next steps at their own pace.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on listening, understanding the impact of past events, and finding practical ways to cope day to day. She works with clients on relationship worries, parenting and family stresses, career doubts and self-esteem problems. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is part of the broader grief and life transition work she does.
Wendy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice difficult patterns, try small changes, and build more helpful habits over time. The aim is to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than apply a one-size-fits-all method.
She has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. Wendy offers practical flexibility and a steady presence when people are facing change, loss or trauma.
If someone thinks this might help, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their routine.

Approaches that guide online counselling
Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life transitions by encouraging practical steps tied to what matters most.Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand of her work. It looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current expectations, which can help when intimacy or relationship trust is a problem.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Wendy works collaboratively to choose methods that suit each person's goals and preferences, and she adapts plans as work progresses rather than sticking to a single model.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. The biography mentions video, phone and text-based therapy as flexible possibilities. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family, work or treatment commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Conversations online follow the same goal-setting and practical steps as in-person work, with techniques chosen to suit how you prefer to meet.
