About Wendy
Wendy Stratford is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and depression. Sessions also address parenting strain, career concerns, sleeping problems, self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
Wendy helps clients who have experienced abandonment, caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people working through guilt and shame and those trying to rebuild self-love after difficult events. LGBT issues and family-related conflicts are included among the areas she covers.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In session she focuses on clear dialogue and practical steps that match the person's situation. This might mean talking through current patterns, trying new coping strategies, or pacing work on painful memories.
Wendy aims to adapt discussions and a treatment plan to each person’s circumstances. She uses straightforward language and a collaborative manner to set goals and track progress. The overall work is pragmatic and paced according to what the client can manage.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Wendy works with evidence-based techniques that help when stress, anxiety or trauma are present. One commonly used approach focuses on paced processing of traumatic memories and reducing post-traumatic symptoms by working through memories slowly and with stabilising strategies. This can help people who have experienced assault, domestic violence or repeated trauma.Another frequent strand of work involves skill-building for managing anxiety and daily stress. That includes short practical exercises to reduce arousal, improve sleep routines and change unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to agree which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote appointments to reduce travel time and to help people access consistent support alongside everyday commitments.
