About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing depression, anxiety and relationship strain. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space for practical conversation and emotional support. Wendy writes in a warm, straightforward way and keeps sessions focused on the client’s goals.
Wendy uses a collaborative style. She listens first, then helps people identify small, workable steps forward. Sessions can include talking, reflective exercises and simple techniques to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. These methods are used to help with coping skills, clearer communication and changes in day-to-day thinking and behaviour. Wendy has four years of experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That background informs her practical focus on grief, trauma and intimacy-related problems as well as stress and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives and routines. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape patterns of thinking and reacting. This can help people improve how they connect and communicate in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss different methods and tailor them to your goals, needs and preferences. She aims to agree a plan together and adapt it as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and practical commitments.
