About me and my practice
Hello, my name is Wendy, I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I work as an Integrative Counsellor who incorporates several counselling modalities, with a strong influence of Person-Centred therapy, this approach is designed to focus the therapy on you as an individual, therefore, putting you in control of your own healing process, it enables you to have full autonomy and empowers you to have full control.
I believe that the quality of the relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important factor. I aim to help us build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to share your feelings and experiences.
Counselling sessions are set within a safe and confidential environment online where you will never be judged, as you work through your issues. The aim is for you to establish new coping strategies, techniques and skills which help you to set your own boundaries and enabling you to establish an achievable new balance in your life moving forward.
Face-to-Face sessions are available.
I have experience with miscarriage, child and adult child loss, bereavement, anxiety, medical diagnoses, suicidal and self harm intrusive thoughts, lack of confidence and self-esteem, anger issues, depression, relationship issues, autism and ADHA and various other presenting issues.
