01About Wendy

Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps feel doable to the client. Wendy uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based and client-centered ways of working shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Existential ideas come into play when clients are seeking meaning, struggling with big life questions, or facing difficult choices.
In sessions she offers direct conversation when needed, alongside a calm, supportive presence. Practical tools, thought work, and gentle challenge are common parts of the process. The goal is to help people feel more able to manage stress, repair relationships, and move toward goals they care about.

04Online support
How Wendy’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and communication, which can help with intimacy and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose strategies that match goals, strengths, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or attachment work over several sessions and adjusting approaches as new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and let clients send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to schedule therapy around work, school, and family life.
