About Wendy
Wendy Herriott is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She supports people dealing with grief, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and coping with life changes. Wendy offers talking therapy that pays attention to what matters to each person.
Wendy trained at Waverley Abbey College and holds a Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling from Middlesex University. She has a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. Her practice name, Saam Counselling Services, draws on the Afrikaans word for together and reflects how she sees the counselling relationship.
Her main approach is client-centred therapy. In sessions she focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the client wants to work on. Some of the work looks at past experience, and some looks at how thoughts, emotions, behaviour and the body connect in the present.
Wendy has particular experience supporting people who are mourning a loss and volunteers with a local bereavement service. She helps people tell their story about loss and begin to make sense of its effects. This may include exploring practical coping and what changes feel manageable next.
She offers a welcoming and inclusive service and encourages people to take a pause to reflect on their needs. To start, Wendy asks people to use the site matching steps to book an initial session and identify what they want to focus on.
Sheet 2
Client-centred work and online counselling
Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's lead on topics and pace. This approach is often used for issues like anxiety, depression and relationship strain because it focuses on what matters most to the person.Wendy also integrates attention to how thoughts, emotions, behaviour and the body connect. That means some sessions may look at past experience and other sessions at present patterns and coping. This mix can help when people are grieving or facing life changes and want both understanding and practical steps.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Wendy will discuss options with each person and agree what fits their needs, goals and preferences. The decision about methods and session format is collaborative and can be reviewed over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online and telephone counselling are mentioned in her training, and choosing a remote format can make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, avoid travel, or opt for a shorter check-in when needed.
