Wendy Holmes

Wendy Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, anger, grief and trauma. She offers a calm, welcoming approach and works alongside clients to identify practical next steps. Wendy writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters to each person.

Wendy uses a blend of methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. She often draws on mindfulness and cognitive tools to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Attachment-focused ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current responses.

Her work includes support for intimacy-related worries, coping with life changes, parenting concerns, LGBT issues, and compassion fatigue. Wendy also addresses specific areas such as OCD focused on relationships, menopause-related life stages, and the experience of loss. She aims to make sessions practical while staying curious about personal history.

Wendy holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has around four years of professional experience and additional training in grief, trauma, and relationship-focused approaches. This mix informs how she tailors sessions to different concerns.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to her availability. The process is straightforward and designed to help people find a good fit before committing to regular meetings.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Wendy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current responses and helps people find new ways of relating. Client-Centred work focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters so the person feels understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats the decisions as a collaboration, checking in about goals and trying methods together to see what fits. She adapts tools and pacing to what a person prefers and what makes progress feel manageable.

The original biography lists flexible session options including video, phone and text-based therapy, so please confirm which of these formats are available when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit in therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements with Wendy when you schedule so sessions suit your routine and technical setup.
