About Wendy
Wendy Herriott offers support for people facing grief, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and big life changes. She frames sessions as a steady, listening space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Wendy aims to help clients notice what matters most and work out manageable next steps.
Wendy trained at Waverley Abbey College and earned a Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling from Middlesex University. She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. Her listed credential is BACP, which appears with her name.
Her way of working is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy and an integrative approach. That means sessions often focus on the person’s experience in the here and now, while also drawing on past experiences when helpful. Conversations include attention to thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily responses so they connect what is being felt to what is happening day to day.
Wendy now concentrates mainly on adults who are mourning a loss, and she volunteers with a local bereavement and loss support service. She describes grief as a very individual path and offers companionship as people begin to process what has happened.
People can expect a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Wendy chose the name Saam Counselling Services because saam means together in Afrikaans, and this reflects how she views the counselling relationship.
How Client-Centred Therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor offers listening, empathy and acceptance so people can explore feelings at their own pace. This approach can help with grief, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns by giving space to make sense of what is happening.Her integrative approach also brings together attention to thoughts, emotions, behaviours and bodily reactions. That helps when someone wants to look at how past events affect present day life, or when they want practical ways to cope with stress and change. These approaches are used collaboratively to match what each person needs.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and agree together what to focus on. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust the approach over time if needs change.
The original biography mentions online and telephone counselling, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online and telephone sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow conversations without travel, and offer different ways to check in when energy or time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a session rhythm that suits a person’s life and goals.
