About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and men's wellbeing. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD and issues tied to self-esteem and career changes. Wendy offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful experiences and plan small steps forward.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to individual needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, using practical exercises and reflective conversation. She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
Wendy's background includes four years practising as a counsellor and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs how she supports people through loss, complex relationship dynamics, and life stage changes such as menopause.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including OCD with a focus on relationship OCD, intimacy questions, and the aftermath of emotional and domestic abuse. Wendy also helps people manage compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and issues linked to attachment, abandonment and communication problems.
People who come to her can expect gentle challenge alongside practical strategies. The work often mixes talking, brief behavioural tasks and mindful noticing to help create change that fits everyday life.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often uses simple exercises to clarify what matters and to build small, consistent steps toward those goals.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections. It helps people recognise relational habits and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace. The therapist listens, reflects and supports the person's own capacity to find choices and solutions.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options with each person, and select methods that match the individual's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats offered before booking. The biography mentions video, phone and text-based sessions, so confirm which are currently available. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow check-ins without travel, and offer quieter or shorter options where that helps. Registered or accredited professionals adapt practical tools used in face-to-face work so they can be effective at a distance, while aiming to keep the work focused on the client's daily life and goals.
