About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I am Wendy - welcome to my profile.
I am a fully qualified integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, with over 20 years experience of working with clients, both adults and adolescents in a range of counselling settings. I am accredited and registered with the BACP, FDAP and the UKCP. I utilise an integrative approach to therapy, with my clients, as I am a great believer one size rarely fits all. I offer you a safe and confidential space to explore whatever is going on for you and I will use my skills to empower you and help you move forward and facilitate the changes you would like.
I am life-loving, laugh-loving and I love to be inspired and I love inspiring others. I do have a Hearing Dog, called Jinga, who will usually be in the therapy room. If that is ever a concern for a client, she can happily rest and sleep in another treatment room.
Why counselling?
People come to counselling for many reasons, either because of past or current life events. Sometimes it might be to understand more about how they you are thinking or feeling, or to discuss life changes, or to develop coping strategies. I will offer you a safe and confidential space to help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
My approach is that we work together on the concerns and issues that you bring. I am interested in helping people feel a sense of belonging, and of courage to tackle what life throws at them. We work together to find a way to change our response to difficulties, to give ourselves more choice.
It can be extremely daunting to take that first step to counselling, but I believe that talking therapy can help you to live a more fulfilling life.
Practice description
I have been in private practice for over 20 years. I am based in a beautiful treatment room within a private health clinic setting at Ezra Healthcare. The clinic is accessible, has ample parking directly outside included dedicated disabled parking and is located on the St Asaph Business Park with great connections to the nearby A55.
I am an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist and believe that all approaches to therapy have value, what is key is ensuring you feel heard, respected and accepted. My core counselling philosophy is Person Centred and I will work with you to agree on the best approach to your therapy.
I also believe that therapy works best when you feel you have a safe confidential space to talk about your life and anything that may cause you to feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or emotional.
My first session
In our first session, we will explore the issues, difficulties and concerns that bring you to counselling. We will then work to develop a collaborative plan to help you move forwards. Although it may seem a little daunting, it is important to help both of us to gain a sense of who you are and what concerns you at this point in your life.
It is equally important that you have time to decide if you wish to work with me beyond the first session.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
