About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with young adults on relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, and issues around intimacy and life changes. She also supports people facing career pressure, parenting stress, LGBTQ concerns, ADHD and self-esteem problems.
Wendy’s sessions are collaborative and person-focused. She uses conversation to help people make sense of past events and decide what to do next. Practical strategies and reflective discussion are mixed so clients can try new ways of coping between appointments.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. These are used to address patterns in relationships, longstanding anxious thinking, and responses to loss or trauma. She also brings client-centred listening to sessions, aiming to keep the work grounded in the person’s own goals.
Wendy has worked with people dealing with relationship OCD, menopause-related intimacy concerns and bereavement. She is experienced with a range of relational and identity issues, and with challenges connected to chronic illness and caregiving. Her background includes training in trauma, grief, transactional analysis and sex and couples work.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck when life changes make choices feel hard.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach is often used for intimacy issues, relationship difficulties and responses to abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss different methods and help decide what fits your goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as the sessions progress.
The biography lists flexible session options including video, phone and text-based therapy, but confirm the exact formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to work well in a remote setting.
