Background and approach

This view helps when people are coping with anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger or patterns that keep repeating in relationships. Wendy also supports those dealing with eating or sleeping problems, parenting strains and career stresses. Her approach is integrative and person-centred.

That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and draw on body‑aware somatic techniques alongside attachment and emotion‑focused ideas. Practical skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used when helpful to manage distress and build coping tools. Wendy explains things plainly and avoids heavy clinical language.

Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build more fulfilling routines. She believes people often carry answers inside them and that therapy can be a space to uncover those answers. Wendy practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

She enjoys time with family, walking with her Labrador, watching horse events and painting with watercolours when she is not working.

How somatic and attachment approaches work online

Wendy integrates somatic work with attachment and emotion‑focused ideas to address how the body and relationships carry difficult experiences. Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and simple grounding practices to help when anxiety, panic or chronic stress are present. Attachment‑based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how early experiences shape current ways of relating.

She uses client‑centred and skills‑based elements to keep therapy practical and collaborative. Choosing the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will discuss options and agree together what to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This means sessions can shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video and phone let people use voice and facial cues, while chat and messaging support shorter, flexible contact and written reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase access and convenience for people seeking support.
