I’m often asked questions about ending relationships so know that it’s something we all (quite rightly) struggle with. I’m now going to trot out the phrase I give in response to any request for direct advice which is; I obviously can’t make any decisions for you, but can help you find your own answers. The guidelines are really simple and consist of 3 questions to ask yourself;
1. Is the relationship adding to my life?
2. Is the relationship not adding anything but also not detracting from my life either?
3. Is the relationship detracting from my life?
If you answered number 1 then it sounds like your relationship is going really well. Answering number 2 sounds like you could be taking each other for granted and things need a little work? Answer 3 sounds like the relationship is in trouble and needs some serious work.
There are few problems in a relationship between compatible people that can’t be overcome but things usually needs a little external guidance. Trying to work on serious problems without professional help can often intensify the relationship difficulties as you end up repeating the same patterns, just more forcibly when you feel like you’re not being ‘heard!’.

As an ex-athlete I’ve always advocated the benefits of keeping in shape physically, but it’s just as important to look after your mental wellbeing. Book a session with Wendy, she’s the person to help you look after your brain just as you would your body.

It’s great to have a leading psychotherapist such as Wendy in the Cheshire area, outside of her Harley Street practice. After publicly raising awareness of mental health issues and myself recovering from depression, I know how immensely life-changing expert intervention can be.

Wendy is great at what she does; she made me feel at ease immediately and really helped me work through some issues.

I want to thank you Wendy from the bottom of my heart for guiding me through what must have been the most difficult time of my life.

I was told she was the best and they were right.
Noelle Dray
Although I consider myself a confident person, I was really nervous when I met Wendy for the first time. I had only emailed her before so it was really nerve wracking walking up the stairs to her office. I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I have ever done. Wendy is really normal, no in fact she isn’t normal as she is unfailingly bright and smiley even when she has to listen to me moan on about how awful my life was. It feels like having a chat with somebody who just gets you and you can trust with things you have never trusted anybody else with before. The magic bit comes when things you have talked about just pop up into your head and you start to do things differently. Wendy once joked about not having a magic wand, but I think she has.
Paul Hendry
I came to Wendy with a set of problems I have never been able to fully explain to anyone, which included grief, many family issues and alcohol problems. Wendy truly has an active listening style and absorbs everything you are saying, whilst not making you feel analysed, it is an incredible skill. She astounded me at how she got to the crux of the issues so fast. So much so that we both agreed I only needed one session with her, obviously this may not be the case with everyone but I would confidently recommend her to anyone, regardless of your problems. There was no awkwardness or even clock watching, she is wonderful at what she does, take the plunge and make an appointment, you will not regret it. Life is a direction not a destination and she will get you on the path again.
