About Wendy

Wendy Holmes is a United Kingdom based therapist who combines warmth with practical, evidence-informed support to help people move through difficult life chapters. With four years of professional experience and the BACP credential, she works collaboratively with clients to explore relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, life transitions, stress and anxiety, and a wide range of other challenges. Wendy places particular emphasis on relationship difficulties, trauma including emotional and domestic abuse, grief and loss, Relationship OCD, intimacy concerns, and female life stage changes with a special focus on menopause.

Her style is client-centered and compassionate, inviting curiosity and care rather than judgement as clients reflect on the past while shaping the future they want. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and pace, and she offers flexible formats to fit modern life including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Wendy also brings additional training in areas such as Integrated Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Compassionate Enquiry, baby and infant loss, Transactional Analysis, a certificate programme in women’s trauma, Integrated Sex and Couples work, the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model for Trauma and Addictions, IFS approaches for complex trauma, and a diploma in dealing with narcissism.

Whether someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, Wendy aims to provide steady support and practical tools to help clients find clearer pathways forward. She invites people to reach out and take the first step toward change at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and when someone wants to live more in line with what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping people rewrite unhelpful attachment responses and improve relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and goals, offering empathy and non-directive support so clients can discover their own solutions and build self-trust.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may draw on a mix of approaches as therapy progresses to best support change.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access a registered professional from home, during breaks, or while managing caregiving or mobility needs, and they support consistent engagement when in-person visits are not practical.
