About Wendy

Wendy Bennett is a UK counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years' experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression or major life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and difficulties linked to ADHD and trauma.

Wendy uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. She listens without pressure and helps people notice choices they can make. Sessions are conversational and paced to what each person prefers.

Her background includes 15 years as a teacher and voluntary bereavement support at a local hospice. That experience shapes how she responds to grief, loss and family-related concerns. It also informs how she explains things clearly and practically.

People can expect a relaxed and informal manner. Wendy aims to prompt reflection and support decision making rather than impose tasks. She is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds.

Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and occasional crochet. Her combined experience in education, hospice volunteering and counselling informs a straightforward, listening-based practice for adults unsure what comes next.

How client-centred methods translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects and asks gentle questions to help people clarify what matters to them. This approach suits issues like grief, anxiety, relationship doubts and feeling stuck after a life change because it focuses on the person's own goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, and together they will decide how to proceed. That collaborative decision making helps match the method to what someone actually wants to achieve, rather than imposing a plan.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit quieter conversations or longer exploratory sessions, depending on what the person prefers. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange session length and rhythm to fit work, family and other commitments.
