Wendy Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns and major life changes. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting strains, career worries and issues related to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Wendy uses a calm, collaborative style and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters to the client right now and on small steps that can change day-to-day life. Wendy aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly and work at a pace that feels manageable. Her background includes four years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

That foundation informs her practice and professional approach to common and complex concerns. She draws on several therapy methods to tailor support to each person. Wendy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindfulness and attachment-based ways of working.

These approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different responses and build values-led goals. She also uses client-centred listening to keep the focus on each person’s priorities. Practical accessibility is important in her work.

Sessions can be brief check-ins or longer therapy appointments depending on need, and the online options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or other commitments. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options and try different approaches together so the client and therapist can see what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the person’s goals, pace and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational session, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties or busy days.
