About me
Hello, I'm Wendy.
Perhaps you've been feeling unhappy, lost or simply not quite yourself, but can't really explain why. Maybe everything seems fine on the outside, yet something feels missing. You might feel disconnected, overwhelmed or stuck in a way of living that no longer feels right.
You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, heartbreak, grief, trauma, low self-esteem or a significant life change. Or perhaps you don't recognise yourself in any of these descriptions.
Sometimes it's one painful experience that brings us to counselling, such as the end of a relationship, losing someone we love or an unexpected change in our lives. Other times, it's the accumulation of everything we've been through, the responsibilities we've carried and the feelings we've had little time or space to process.
And sometimes, we simply don't know why we feel the way we do.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't need to have a diagnosis, know exactly what's wrong or have all the answers before seeking support.
Therapy can offer a place to put some of that weight down, make sense of what you've been carrying, and begin finding a way forward.
A little about me and how I work
I'm a BACP registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, supported and understood.
My approach is relational, person-centred and collaborative. I believe feeling comfortable with your therapist matters, and that therapy should be a genuine human connection rather than something you have to fit into.
Together, we can explore your feelings, experiences and relationships, including patterns that may be affecting you today. Sometimes that involves understanding the past; at other times, it's about making sense of what's happening in your life now.
We'll work at your pace, with empathy, respect and curiosity, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and together we'll find a way forward that feels right for you.
Taking the first step
I offer counselling and psychotherapy in person in Leamington Spa and Coventry, welcoming clients from Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Coventry and across Warwickshire, as well as online throughout the UK.
Weekday appointments are available, and I offer a free 15-minute discovery call if you'd like to ask questions or get a sense of whether working together feels right.
There's no pressure or obligation to continue. We can have a chat and take it from there.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Alongside my general counselling and psychotherapy work, I have particular interests in identity, self-esteem, relationships and the emotional challenges that can come with significant life changes.
LGBTQ+ affirmative counselling
I welcome LGBTQ+ clients who may be exploring sexuality, identity, relationships, self-acceptance or the experience of feeling different or misunderstood.
My research at the University of Warwick explored the experiences of LGBTQ+ trainee counsellors, particularly around authenticity, belonging and feeling safe enough to be themselves. This has deepened my understanding of identity, acceptance and the importance of feeling genuinely understood.
Midlife, menopause and life transitions
Changes in relationships, family circumstances, work or identity can leave us questioning who we are and what we want from life. I support adults navigating these transitions, including the emotional challenges of midlife and menopause.
Neurodivergent wellbeing
I welcome neurodivergent adults, including people with ADHD and autism, who may be experiencing challenges with confidence, relationships, emotional wellbeing or feeling accepted and understood.
Self-esteem and relationships
I have a particular interest in helping people explore relationship patterns, boundaries, confidence, and self-worth, including how past experiences can influence how we see ourselves and connect with others.
