Wendy Holmes
Compassionate counselling for relationship and life changes
About Wendy
Wendy Holmes is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns and major life changes. She works with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and anger, and offers support around parenting, career challenges and neurodiversity issues such as ADHD. Wendy welcomes people from LGBT communities and those coping with caregiver stress or chronic illness.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She invites clients to set the pace and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and manage, so choices feel clearer. Wendy uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. She blends these methods to suit each person’s goals rather than applying a single technique to every situation.
She has four years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is part of her professional profile in the United Kingdom. Wendy offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions are provided through a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time, with costs that vary by location and scheduling. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to therapist availability.

Sessions & fees
Online approaches that focus on values and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, life changes and issues where people feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. It is useful for people who want to understand trust, closeness and repeating relationship difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as the relationship develops. That collaboration helps make sure techniques match what each person needs at any stage. Online sessions offer practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, brief reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. Across these formats the focus is on accessible, steady progress that fits everyday routines. Registered or accredited professionals use the same therapeutic principles online as in person to help people work through relationship, trauma and life-transition issues.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
