Wendy Dunbar

Wendy Dunbar is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and family-related concerns. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, life purpose and panic attacks.

Wendy writes plainly about times when people feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected after a big loss or health change. She listens to what has been happening and talks through how those experiences affect day-to-day life. Sessions focus on making sense of strong feelings and looking at small, practical steps to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Her background includes many years supporting children in education and experience in the health sector using relaxing body techniques. That practical work informs how she addresses emotional and physical distress together. She has also worked with people who hold spiritual or religious beliefs, including Christians.

Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she notes supports her professional standards and supervision. She describes supervision as an ongoing part of her practice and says she adheres to the ethical expectations of that body.

People considering sessions are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Sessions are provided within the UK context and international clients are not accepted at this time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The profile notes use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on talking through thoughts and feelings to spot patterns that keep someone stuck; this helps with worry, low mood and decisions about direction. Another practical thread is work that links physical symptoms and relaxation techniques to emotional stress, which can support people living with chronic pain or a recent health change.

Choosing the right way of working is presented as collaborative. The counsellor will work with the client to try different techniques and agree what feels most useful for their goals and circumstances. That means the method can be adjusted as sessions progress rather than fixed from the start.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit counselling around busy days and long commutes. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions that avoid travel when someone is recovering from illness. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best suit practical needs and therapeutic aims.
