About me
You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling in a relationship, coping with grief or a major life change, or simply feeling stuck and unsure about what needs to change. Sometimes the pressures of work, family or caring for others can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected or less like yourself.
I’m Wendy, an integrative psychotherapist offering counselling and psychotherapy to adults in Leamington Spa and online across the UK. My way of working is warm, relational and person-centred, with a focus on helping you feel heard, understood and able to explore what is happening for you without judgement.
You do not need to have a diagnosis, be in crisis or arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong. Together, we can look at what is happening in your life now, past experiences that may still be affecting you, relationships, emotions or patterns that keep repeating.
My approach is shaped around you rather than a fixed method. We can work at a pace that feels manageable, helping you understand yourself more deeply, build confidence and self-trust, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
You do not need to have all the answers before you begin. We can start with whatever feels most important to you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and hold a First Class BA (Hons) in Counselling and the Psychotherapeutic Relationship from the University of Warwick.
My training is integrative and relational, with a person-centred foundation. I draw on psychodynamic, Gestalt and existential perspectives, adapting the way we work to reflect your individual experiences and needs.
Alongside my psychotherapy training, I bring extensive professional experience supporting people through change, challenge and personal development. I am also undertaking postgraduate study, a Masters in the Psychology of Coaching at the University of Leicester, which further informs my understanding of personal growth, motivation and meaningful change.
My research interests include identity, belonging, diversity and the experiences people can have when different aspects of who they are are not always fully recognised or understood.
I undertake regular clinical supervision, continuing professional development and work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework. I am fully insured to practise.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, particularly if you have not had counselling before.
Our first full session gives us time to explore what has brought you to therapy, what is happening in your life now and what you would like from our work together. There is no expectation that you tell your whole story straight away, and you will never be pushed to discuss something before you feel ready.
Sessions are 60 minutes and are usually held weekly, although we can discuss what works best for you. I also offer 30-minute focused therapy sessions for existing clients who would benefit from a shorter check-in or support with something specific.
Appointments are available in person in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, and online across the UK, with availability on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturday mornings.
Before booking your first full session, you are welcome to arrange a free 15-minute discovery call. This is an informal opportunity to tell me a little about what you are looking for, ask any questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. There is no obligation to continue.
