How her approaches translate to online counselling

Wendy uses client-centred counselling to prioritise the person's own goals and perspective. This approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what matters to the client and helps them decide which changes to try. It is useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, grief and uncertainty about life direction.

She also draws on motivational interviewing, a collaborative way of talking that helps people weigh up change and build motivation at their own pace. This method is often helpful for behaviour change, addictions, or when someone feels stuck and unsure how to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss preferences, goals and what has helped in the past, and then agree a way of working that feels most useful. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to join from a familiar setting or who need a quieter, more flexible arrangement.
