Wendy Russell

Wendy Russell is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with seven years of practice helping people with stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. She works with clients who feel stuck, unsure of their next step, or overwhelmed by grief, low mood or work pressure. Sessions focus on clear, practical ways to manage day-to-day problems and reassess what matters next. Wendy uses an integrative approach, drawing on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. She explains options plainly and helps people try small changes between sessions. Those steps might include simple thought exercises, communication practice or attention to routines that affect mood and energy. Relationship concerns are approached as individual work about how someone connects, heals after breakups, or starts again without blame. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, kink and alternative sex culture, jealousy, infidelity and commitment worries in straightforward conversation. Career questions, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue are included alongside life purpose and feelings of emptiness. Wendy offers support for parents and caregivers who describe stress and blended family difficulties, and for people dealing with guilt, shame or forgiveness. She pays attention to how past patterns affect present choices and how to reduce unhelpful cycles. Therapy is collaborative and practical, with occasional between-session tasks when useful. People meet Wendy to talk through where they feel stuck, to reduce anxiety, or to find steadier ways of handling change. Before booking, confirm the session formats currently offered and any other practical details.

How Wendy uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. It is useful when someone feels unsure or lost and wants someone who reflects back what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small, practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and work-related stress because it gives clear steps to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and interrupt rumination. Those practices can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed or struggle with persistent worry. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will talk about these options and agree which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery types. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the exact session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements suit your routine.
