She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and depression. She also helps people who are coping with life changes and with issues around motivation and confidence.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career difficulties. She also gives attention to intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and mental health patterns such as bipolar and seasonal affective disorder.
Wendi notes further focus on hoarding, infidelity and jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and matters that arise in veteran and armed forces backgrounds. She is also experienced in supporting people exploring LGBT issues and non-monogamous relationship styles such as polyamory.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shapes conversations to what feels most useful to the person in front of her. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Wendi works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what people are facing now. One common approach looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. This can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Another approach emphasises learning clear coping skills for stress, sleep, anger and managing strong feelings; these are simple strategies people can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust the plan together. They discuss goals, try methods for a few sessions, and choose what fits the client's needs and preferences.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact options when booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in if schedules are tight. It also lets people take part when they cannot attend in person, and sessions can be adjusted in length or frequency to suit work and family life.
