How her approaches work in online therapy
Wendy commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships affect current patterns and help people notice and change repetitive ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Wendy works collaboratively with clients to agree what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences, and may blend methods to fit each person's needs.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy in place when routines change, while the therapist helps adapt techniques so they work well in an online setting.
