She combines an academic background in psychology and public health with extensive clinical practice, holding a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MSc (Distinction) in Public Health with research on behaviour change. Prior to her current work she practised for 20 years as a UK registered mental health nurse, and she is awaiting PhD candidacy.

Her practice is trauma-informed and neurodivergence-informed, and she holds accreditation in advanced integrated clinical supervision. As a health researcher she has authored four peer-reviewed papers addressing autism, domestic violence, and dementia risk prediction. She maintains a high level of professional development, completing roughly 200 hours of continuing professional development annually across topics such as trauma treatment, neurodiversity, anxiety management, positive psychology, and attachment science.

Trained in Gestalt therapy and skilled in approaches including polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, trauma-focused body work, solution-focused brief therapy, the FLASH technique for processing traumatic memories, and Gottman methods in training, she offers a flexible, client-led style. Structured programmes are available for areas such as attachment patterns, executive functioning and ADHD coaching, emotional regulation, addiction, anxiety management, self-compassion, relationship repair, and preparation for separation or divorce.

Her wider practice experience spans carer wellbeing, severe and enduring mental health conditions, dementia, autism and ADHD, intimate partner violence, workplace bullying, and group work for stress, sleep, hearing voices, depression, and wellbeing. She describes her approach as professional and compassionate, focused on practical tools and evidence-informed methods to support people's recovery and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of trust, closeness and emotion regulation. In online sessions this approach helps explore attachment styles and repair relational patterns, which can be useful for people struggling with relationship difficulties, loss, or disorganised attachment responses.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-directive stance that helps people access their own strengths and self-understanding. Online client-centered work creates space for clients to lead the pace and focus of therapy, and it suits people seeking empathy, validation and personal growth when facing stress, depression or identity concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactive stress responses. Delivered remotely, mindfulness techniques can support anxiety management, sleep difficulties, and emotional regulation by teaching grounding skills that clients can use between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be explored collaboratively. Wendy will work with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging affords flexibility for scheduling and access, enabling people to engage from home or while balancing work and caregiving. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic principles remotely, making treatment more accessible for those with mobility, geographic, or time constraints.
