Wendy Holmes, BACP

Wendy Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Wendy is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Wendy works in a collaborative, warm way. She aims to offer a non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Conversations focus on personal goals and practical steps that feel manageable.

Her approach draws on a mix of recognised therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with values and action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking that cause distress. Attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices also inform her work.

Wendy has four years of experience and has trained in a range of related areas. Her background notes work with trauma, relationship-focused difficulties including Relationship OCD, grief and menopause-related transitions. Training highlights include trauma-focused and bereavement-related programmes.

Sessions are arranged to suit each person’s needs. Clients are encouraged to set goals and review progress at a comfortable pace. Prospective clients should check the current session formats before they book to confirm what is offered.

How Wendy uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with more helpful alternatives, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people improve how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel and offering more flexible timing. It can also allow quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when that suits a day. Because session formats may change, confirm the current options before booking so you know which ways of meeting are available. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to match therapy to everyday routines.
