More about Wendy

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an experienced counsellor who believes everyone has the potential for change. I qualified in 2005 and completed my training at a local mental health charity where I spent almost three years working with a diverse range of individuals presenting with very different mental health issues.

I try to work holistically as what affects the mind also affects the body (and vice versa) and I think that working through our feelings and how we relate to them, (no matter what the issue) is the primary factor. Despite our many different and varied experiences, ultimately we are all human. I work primarily within a person-centred framework but adapt my approach to meet my clients needs as one size does not fit all and am therefore using an integrative model of working.

I am a warm and caring person and aim to ensure I work ethically and non-judgmentally with all my clients. I can offer a honest and congruent space within which you can be assured the work is confidential and that it is carried out within professional boundaries.

My working hours are;

Mon - Thurs 9-4pm (BST)

Fri 9- 12pm

Mon, Tues, Wed evenings 7.30-9.30pm (2 slots per evening).

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
