Wendy Putt , BACP

Wendy Putt trained at South Devon College and Devon Counselling College and is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors. Her decision to become a therapist was shaped by personal experience of grief and loss, giving her a lived understanding of how overwhelming emotions can feel and how they can affect everyday life.

As an older woman with a longstanding interest in relationships and human behaviour, she brings curiosity and empathy to her work. Wendy focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She believes that taking the first step toward greater well-being takes courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process.

Wendy works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, bereavement, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem and body image concerns, and life transitions. If aspects of life feel harder than before or if someone is struggling with loss or isolation, she invites them to reach out and begin a conversation about what might help.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support with Wendy Putt

Wendy works primarily using Client-Centered Therapy, a warm and empathetic approach that focuses on the client’s own experience. This method invites people to explore their feelings and thoughts without pressure, and it can be helpful for issues such as grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and life transitions. It prioritises understanding and acceptance to help clients find their own solutions.

In addition to counselling, Wendy offers coaching-style support that concentrates on practical steps, goal setting and building coping strategies. Coaching can be useful for clients seeking clearer direction in areas like career, life purpose, motivation or managing change. Both approaches are adaptable to the individual’s needs and pace.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy approaches this collaboratively - she listens to each person’s goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adjust them over time. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively online, and Wendy uses that flexibility to meet clients where they are.

Online therapy with Wendy is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility, easier access from home and the ability to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
