About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a counsellor who helps people navigate relationship strains, trauma, grief and intimacy concerns. She supports those coping with life changes, stress, anxiety and career worries. Wendy also works with clients facing codependency, parenting pressures, anger and self-esteem problems.
Wendy aims to make each session practical and down to earth. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and works alongside people to set small, achievable goals. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and commit to action. She applies Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they affect closeness and trust.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase presence. Sessions are shaped by the client’s goals rather than a fixed formula.
Wendy holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She has four years of professional experience working with a broad range of concerns, including trauma, relationship OCD and life-stage changes such as the menopause. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom.

How Wendy uses therapeutic approaches online
Wendy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify what truly matters and take small steps toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and indecision because it focuses on action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current closeness and trust. This approach helps when intimacy, communication or repeated relationship problems are central concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that starts with what the person wants to change and what feels manageable.
