About Wendy

Background and approach

Wendy uses well-established approaches to guide work, choosing methods that fit each person's situation. She often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas help when someone needs small, achievable steps to build momentum.

In sessions she tailors dialogue and plans to the specific needs presented. That may mean setting short-term goals, practicing new ways to talk with family members, or naming manageable coping skills for grief or stress. Wendy aims to support and empower clients as they pursue clearer routines and better interactions at home.

Her work also addresses areas like abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and recovery after separation or domestic violence. Practical problem solving and steady encouragement are common parts of the process. Wendy provides services in English and offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules.

She emphasizes collaboration so each person can decide what progress looks like for them.

How Wendy’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions today. Online sessions using this approach help people notice harmful patterns with partners or family and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive. In virtual sessions CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses between meetings for real-life change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats approach choice as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits best based on a person’s goals, history, and comfort. She may combine methods so the plan matches what a person needs right now rather than sticking to a single model.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. These options let people keep momentum without long commutes and fit sessions around family or work obligations. The variety also allows for shorter check-ins or longer conversations as needs change, supporting steady progress over time.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
