About Wendy
Wendy Herriott offers support for people facing grief, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and major life changes. She introduces a calm space where someone can be listened to and start to make sense of hard feelings. Wendy presents herself as warm and approachable, and she aims to meet people where they are without pressure.
Wendy trained at Waverley Abbey College and earned a Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling from Middlesex University.
Background and approach
She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. Her listed professional credential is BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her style is client-centred, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and what they want to work on.
Conversations can include looking at past events, how thoughts and emotions link with behaviour, and what practical steps feel right now. The emphasis is on helping someone identify their needs and decide meaningful next steps. Wendy describes her practice as welcoming and inclusive.
She chose the name Saam Counselling Services because saam means together in Afrikaans, reflecting how she views the counselling relationship. She also volunteers with a local bereavement and loss support service. Sessions are offered online or by phone.
Wendy aims to help people pause, reflect and consider what they need next. She encourages anyone struggling to reach out and tell their story so they can begin to process it.

Approaches Wendy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Wendy also integrates attention to how thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily responses connect. That way conversations can move between thinking about the past, recognising patterns in the present and choosing small practical steps to try next. Together the therapist and client decide which focus feels most helpful for the issues raised.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Wendy works collaboratively to identify what a person needs and will adapt sessions based on goals and preferences. She discusses options and checks in regularly so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a more conversational session. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing, want to reflect between messages or need brief, frequent contact.
