Your counsellor
Someone to talk to.
Someone who will listen.
I offer person-centred counselling in a warm, confidential and non-judgemental environment, where you can talk openly and be heard without pressure.
My approach is centred around you as an individual. We can explore what you are experiencing at your own pace, with space for the thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to share elsewhere.

My approach
A quick answer
What happens in a first counselling session?
Your first session is a chance to talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you would like support with. You do not need to prepare or know exactly what to say. Wendy works at your pace, with space to ask questions and decide what feels useful to explore.
In Wendy’s words
You Spend So Much Time Looking After Everyone Else. What About You?
Sometimes, when we’ve spent so much time looking after others, we forget about ourselves. But your feelings matter too. You spend so much time caring for others. It’s okay to make some space for yourself.
Read Wendy’s reflectionHow I can help
When life feels heavier than it should.
You may know exactly what is troubling you, or simply feel that something is not quite right. Counselling gives you space to understand what is happening and what you need.
A quick answer
What can counselling help with?
Counselling can help with anxiety, overthinking, stress, overwhelm, grief, loss, low self-esteem, boundaries and periods when life simply feels difficult. It offers a confidential space to understand what you are experiencing, recognise patterns and explore what you need without being told what to do.

Stress & overwhelm
Support when you are carrying too much, feeling emotionally exhausted, or have spent a long time putting others first.
Grief & loss
A compassionate space to process bereavement, change and the different ways loss can affect your life.
Self-esteem & boundaries
Explore patterns that leave you feeling stuck and begin to make room for your own needs without guilt.
Counselling that meets you where you are
No scripts. No judgement. No expectation to have the right words.
Person-centred counselling is based on the belief that you are the expert in your own experience. Rather than telling you what to do, I work alongside you to help you understand yourself more clearly.
Where helpful, I can also draw on other techniques, including relaxation and hypnotherapy skills, to support anxiety, breathing and the body's response to stress.
Hypnotherapy
Sometimes understanding the pattern isn't enough to change it.
Thoughts, feelings and responses can become so familiar that they seem to happen automatically. Hypnotherapy offers a calm, focused way to work with these patterns and explore different responses.
Personalised sessions can support confidence and self-esteem, anxiety and worry, overthinking, public speaking, relaxation, stress, sleep and emotional wellbeing.
Personalised hypnosis recordings
Individually written relaxation or hypnosis sessions you can listen to in your own time.
A quick answer
What is hypnotherapy and how can it help?
Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and guided attention to help you work with thoughts, feelings and responses that can feel automatic. It may support areas such as anxiety, overthinking, confidence, stress, relaxation, sleep and public speaking, either alongside counselling or as a separate therapeutic approach.

Kind words from people I’ve supported.

I always feel she is truly invested and cares about supporting me.
Wendy has been an excellent counsellor. We have been working together for a while now and I always feel she is truly invested and cares about supporting me.
Having a regular session with her has meant I feel like I have a healthy outlet to process and reflect the events of the week and somewhere safe to discuss things free of judgement.
Wendy has also given me practical tips and guidance when I have needed it and even helped me with guided meditation when I have had trouble sleeping. I still use one of her recordings now when I need help to relax.
Wendy has always been super flexible and accommodating to my busy schedule and tries to ensure we can speak as regularly as possible.
Having support from Wendy and Walk the Walk in more generally has meant I have continued to grow in strength to overcome the ongoing challenges left from being in an abusive relationship. It has helped me to stay focused on making healthy choices for me and my family going forward and ensuring I am watching carefully to avoid falling into a bad situation again.
I have found the support to be invaluable, thank you x

Sitting here today feeling better, I’m so grateful.
I just wanted to drop you a message to say thank you for your support and time during my sessions.
Looking back on how I felt and the thoughts I was having, I am unsure if I would've made it out the other side had it not been for our sessions, and sitting here today feeling better I'm so grateful that with you help I did.
I'm sorry that our sessions could not continue but I wish you all the best with your career and future and maybe our paths will cross again one day.
