Person-Centred Support and Body-Aware Techniques Online
Wendy specialises in person-centred therapy, an approach that focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgemental space where clients are encouraged to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach helps with issues such as low self-worth, relationship and attachment concerns, grief and mood difficulties by placing the client’s experience at the centre of the work.She also integrates relaxing body-awareness techniques learned in health settings to help people manage the physical and emotional impact of long-term illness, chronic pain or stress. These gentle practices aim to calm bodily tension and support overall wellbeing alongside talking therapies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often tailor methods as they learn more about a client’s situation and priorities.

Remote sessions make it easier to access consistent support from home or work and can be scheduled to suit busy lives while still providing meaningful, evidence-informed therapeutic work.
