How Wendy works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking. It can be helpful for low mood, anxiety and managing day-to-day stresses.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to others. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties and self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about what feels most relevant and try different methods where needed. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together, so the plan fits the person’s needs and goals.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work breaks or mobility limits, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Confirm the session types offered when you arrange your first appointment so you can pick what works best.
