Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Wendy commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, which can be helpful for relationship, intimacy and attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive relationship where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus, supporting self-understanding and personal growth. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her style to suit what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family commitments or geographic constraints while maintaining continuity with licensed professionals and therapists.
