Wendy Holmes, BACP

Wendy Holmes offers a warm, compassionate welcome to anyone exploring therapy and values the decision to seek support. She recognises that reaching out can be a significant step and works with people to explore their stories with curiosity and care. Wendy believes the past is part of a person’s story but does not have to determine the whole narrative, and she supports clients to take an active role in shaping their future.

Her practice emphasises a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that is grounded in each person’s individual goals, allowing work to progress at a pace that feels right. To fit different lifestyles and needs she provides flexible session options, including video calls, phone sessions, and text-based therapy. Wendy has experience addressing life transitions and endings, trauma and abuse (emotional, physical, narcissistic, and domestic), grief and loss, relationship difficulties, obsessive-compulsive concerns with a particular focus on Relationship OCD, intimacy issues, and female life stage changes such as menopause.

Wendy’s qualifications and training include Integrated Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Compassionate Enquiry, training in baby and infant loss, grief and loss work, Transactional Analysis (TA), a certificate programme in Women’s Trauma, an Integrated Sex and Couples Certificate, Felt Sense Polyvagal Model training for trauma and addictions, training in treating complex trauma with IFS Therapy, and a Diploma in Dealing with Narcissism. She also holds BACP membership, indicating affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
