Wendy is excellent, she’s very understanding, empathetic, and has asked good questions to try and make me think further about my past. She is direct when she needs to be. I look forward to working with her more in the coming weeks.

Wendy had been able to quickly pinpoint what it is I need from therapy. She has created a safe space where I feel comfortable to open up and let my guard down. It’s a relief to find a therapist that I can trust whilst feeling confident that I will get the support I need.

Wendy is very kind, approachable, compassionate and caring. She is very easy to talk to and relatable. She very easily creates a safe environment for you to share about your experiences without fear of being judged or ridiculed. Wendy makes sessions comfortable and relaxing whilst still doing the hard work. Wendy is a pleasure to talk to and she is incredibly encouraging too. A lovely person who is gentle but also a good therapist.
