How her approaches translate to online counselling
Wendy draws on attachment-based work to help people understand relationship patterns and build safer ways of relating. That approach looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and can be useful when grief, loss or relationship repair are concerns.She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters to the person in the room. This method helps when someone needs space to make sense of difficult emotions or to clarify life goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities with each person and may suggest combining methods over time to meet changing needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers ways to continue support during major life events or when attending in-person sessions is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while adapting tools and exercises for distance work.
