About Wendy
Wendy Stirling is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and with those coping with life changes or addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy issues and self-esteem struggles.
Wendy uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions aim to make emotions clearer and to help people understand the patterns that keep causing pain. Conversations are practical and focused on small, manageable changes.
Her background includes extended personal therapy alongside professional training, which informs a reflective, person-centred style. She describes listening carefully and responding to what each person brings. This means therapy is conversational but rooted in recognised methods.
Wendy works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, body image, attachment and codependency. She also supports people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues and ageing-related concerns. Her experience covers both emotional and behavioural problems.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment through the service. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Wendy combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. EFT focuses on recognising and changing the emotional patterns that keep people stuck, often helping when feelings are hard to name. ACT teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and values and using them to guide small actions. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection styles.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy works collaboratively to decide what fits each person’s goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus over time rather than committing to one method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to keep momentum between face-to-face meetings and to support ongoing change.
