About Wendy
Wendy Herriott offers support for people facing grief, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and major life changes. She introduces a calm space where someone can be listened to and begin to make sense of what feels overwhelming. Wendy explains things clearly and encourages people to set the pace of their own work.
Wendy trained at Waverley Abbey College and earned a Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling from Middlesex University.
Background and approach
She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. Her listed professional credential is BACP, which appears alongside her practice details. Her way of working is client-centred, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and what they want to address.
Some sessions may look at past experiences, and some will explore how thoughts, feelings, body sensations and behaviours connect in day-to-day life. Wendy lets people decide which direction feels right for them. She emphasises a welcoming and inclusive approach and chose the name Saam Counselling Services because saam means together in Afrikaans.
That reflects how she views a successful counselling relationship - as a collaborative process rather than a one-way path. Wendy has four years' experience and has supported people through bereavement, stress and relationship challenges. She also volunteers as a counsellor with Stafford and District Bereavement and Loss Support Service, and now mainly works with adults who are grieving.

How Wendy works online
Wendy also integrates attention to how thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily sensations connect. That simple focus helps people notice patterns that contribute to stress or low mood and to try small, practical changes in everyday life. It is useful when someone wants both emotional understanding and clear steps to feel steadier.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Wendy works collaboratively to decide which elements to use and adapts as needs and goals change. She will discuss what feels most helpful and tailor sessions around personal preferences and aims.
Session formats are not specified in the source biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals can help find a way of working that fits into everyday routine and goals.
