Wendy Holmes , BACP

Wendy Holmes is a counsellor who focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related worries and life changes. She also supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD and issues around self-esteem. Wendy works with concerns common to women’s lives and offers a calm, non-judgemental presence during difficult conversations.

Her style is collaborative and down to earth. She invites clients to set goals and to work at a comfortable pace. Sessions aim to be practical and rooted in what matters most to each person. Wendy uses a mix of talking, reflective exercises and gentle techniques drawn from well-known therapeutic approaches.

Wendy has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Her background includes learning in areas such as working with grief, trauma, sex and relationships, and approaches that focus on attachment and acceptance. She draws on that range to tailor sessions to individual needs.

She offers flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. That variety can help people fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments. Sessions are delivered in English and through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Wendy aims to make the first steps straightforward and practical.

How these approaches work online and in sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes by tightening the link between what matters and what you do. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that formed early in life and how they show up now, useful for relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities, helping people feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss options and tailor methods to fit the client's goals, preferences and practical needs. That means trying things out and adjusting what is used as progress and comfort evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, flexibility across the day, or when fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity when life is busy or when travel would be difficult, while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work itself.
