How Wendy uses different approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and making changes that matter to the person. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment and relationship difficulties.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens openly and works collaboratively so the client can find their own solutions and make decisions at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. The counsellor adapts methods over time based on what does and does not help.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking. The original biography lists video, phone and text-based therapy, and this can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week or to have a shorter check-in when needed. Ask about how the subscription system and scheduling work when you complete the matching questionnaire.
