About Wendy

Wendy Herriott is a counsellor who supports people coping with grief, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression and life changes. She offers online and telephone counselling so clients can talk from home or another convenient place. Wendy aims to listen first and help people make sense of what they are feeling.

She trained at Waverley Abbey College and earned a Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling from Middlesex University. She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling.

Background and approach

Wendy lists BACP among her professional credentials. Her main way of working is client-centred therapy. Sessions begin with the client’s priorities and move at a pace they find manageable.

Wendy also draws on work that looks at how thoughts, feelings, behaviours and the body interact when that seems helpful. Wendy often focuses on past experiences when those memories matter to the issues being discussed. She describes the counselling relationship as a partnership where stories are shared and understood together.

Her practice name, Saam Counselling Services, reflects that idea - saam means together in Afrikaans. Wendy has around four years of experience and volunteers with a local bereavement support service in Stafford. Many of her current clients are adults mourning a loss, and she invites people to take time to reflect and consider what they need next.

Ways of working Wendy names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care offered online

Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s priorities, helping them to find their own understanding and next steps. This approach suits people dealing with grief, anxiety, relationship strain and life transitions.

Wendy also pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily sensations connect. She uses simple, practical conversations about these links when it helps someone understand patterns or cope differently with stress and low mood.

Working out the best approach is a shared task. Wendy explores goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints with each person and adjusts the way she works as the relationship grows. That makes it easier to try different ways of addressing a concern and choose what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone more easily, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or quieter communication. These options make it possible to arrange sessions around work, caring duties and other commitments.
