About Wendy
Wendy Holmes offers support for people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related worries, and stress and anxiety. She also helps with life transitions, career concerns, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and issues linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue. Wendy uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people find practical ways forward.
Her style is collaborative and gentle. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps clients try out new ways of responding in everyday life. Wendy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred counselling, cognitive behaviour ideas, and mindfulness exercises. These tools are used flexibly to match the situation rather than follow a fixed script.
She offers video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Sessions are aimed at practical change as well as emotional understanding. Wendy has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP.
People often come for help with specific events like loss, abuse or major life changes, and leave with clearer ways to cope day to day. When someone is unsure where to start, she works with them to set small, achievable goals and build on progress over time.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape current difficulties. It can help with intimacy issues, trust concerns and recurring relationship problems by exploring connection styles and building new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that suit the person's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help set goals and decide what feels most useful in sessions.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suit quick check-ins or written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional clarity.
