Have you got a ‘thing’?

I often notice when people have a ‘thing’ that stops them living life and being happy. These things can be really traumatic and/or debilitating.

In no way am I minimising your thing. I hear the most horrific things happening to people and I recognise the horror of living with chronic problems.

  • The unexpected death of a loved one
  • The constant seep of overwhelming depression or anxiety
  • Accident or illness either to yourself or others
  • Financial crisis and loss

These are some of the problems I support people with daily.

As soon as people start to feel better, it’s usually the last I see of them, which is great. My work is kinda weird because I know it’s better when I don’t see people; as lovely as it always is to see people, I know there’s a problem when I do.

But here’s the thing…………

People go off and feel like they can live their life in a better way but continue to carry the thing with them.

  • They avoid taking any risk in life in case the anxiety comes back, or they lose it all again
  • They never stay still enough for the depression to tap them on the shoulder
  • Despite beating the illness, they continue to see themselves as more fragile
  • They never allow themselves to be vulnerable in love again, just in case

Trouble is, life has a way of sending us a bit of a curve ball, regardless of how we live. Some people are lucky enough to (seemingly) float through life without too much happening; others tend to lurch from crisis to crisis. We don’t have much control over what life sends us, sometimes it simply turns up.

Have you a thing that’s stopping you from living life at full tilt?

In over 25 years of noticing this, I can promise you this; never have I seen living life with the handbrake on keep you safe from things happening. The only outcome of wearing this thing you’ve experienced like a badge of honour does, is to stop you from being happy and living a life well-lived.

Lots of love and positivity from the person who specialises in helping remove ‘things.’

Don’t just take my word for it...

Known as the best psychologist around, Wendy’s an obvious choice to be featured on the show’

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.

The most exciting thing in the world is getting a chance to tear it all up and start again. Keep all the things you want and throw out everything you don’t. Wendy will help you do just that!

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.

Tara Costello

It’s funny but from the minute I met her I felt so relaxed and she was so easy to talk to. Thank you!

Stevie Brown

Wendy isn’t only really good at what she does, she’s also really easy to talk to.

Gabriel Wilson

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.

Raza Syed

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.
