How Wendy’s approaches work online
Wendy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and allow difficult thoughts or feelings while identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate to others. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the person to find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together you can try strategies and adjust the emphasis as the relationship develops, so the plan fits the issue at hand.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual contact matters for emotional connection. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter, more frequent support or when typing helps people reflect. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
