Therapeutic approaches and online support
Wendy uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and connection with others. This approach can help people who struggle with closeness, trust, abandonment, or patterns that repeat across relationships.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client at the heart of the process and emphasises empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. This way of working supports people who need a steady, validating space to clarify values, build self-worth, and make choices at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in Wendy's practice, focusing on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. CBT can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Wendy collaborates with each person to identify methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - which helps accommodate different schedules, locations, and communication styles while maintaining continuity of care with a registered professional.
