Wendy's way of working

Wendy is an empathetic, kind and compassionate practitioner who uses a number of different approaches/techniques in her work with clients including psychodynamic therapy and elements from Schema Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Exposure Therapy or Mindful Meditation. She tailors her approach to meet each client's individual needs and preferences after carefully listening to them and agreeing a plan for change.  

Wendy often uses cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT)  at the start of sessions with clients in the early stages of therapy as a tool to explore thoughts, difficult situations, core beliefs, and how the client sees themselves. She may also use deep relaxation techniques during sessions where she feels they may be helpful. Wendy works in a person-centred way with clients. 

Wendy speaks Spanish and she is happy to use this in her work with clients where this may be helpful.
