Wendy Holmes

Wendy Holmes welcomes visitors to her page with warmth and appreciation for taking the step to seek support. She recognises that reaching out can feel significant, and she aims to offer a calm, supportive environment to begin that work.

Wendy believes the past is part of a person’s story but does not have to dictate the future - she encourages people to take an active role in shaping what comes next. In therapy she provides a non-judgmental space where exploration happens with compassion, curiosity, and care. Her way of working is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, allowing change to happen at a pace that feels right for them.

She offers flexible session formats to fit different lifestyles, including video calls, phone appointments, and text-based therapy. Wendy has four years of clinical experience and works with a broad range of difficulties such as life transitions and endings, trauma and abuse including emotional, physical, narcissistic, and domestic trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, obsessive-compulsive issues with a focus on Relationship OCD (ROCD), intimacy concerns, and female life stage changes including menopause. Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT-related issues, family and parenting matters, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Wendy’s training includes Integrated Psycho-therapeutic Counselling, Compassionate Enquiry, specialist study in Baby and Infant Loss and Grief and Loss, 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. These qualifications inform a flexible, person-centred approach grounded in established therapeutic models.

Whether someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain where to begin, Wendy is available to help take that first step. She works from the United Kingdom and welcomes enquiries about starting therapy through the available session formats.
