About Wendy
Wendy Joseph is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of clinical experience. She blends humanistic and relational ways of working to help people make sense of difficult feelings and relationships. Her approach is calm and flexible, and she adapts to what each person brings to the room.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred principles mean the person’s priorities guide the sessions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and existential perspectives are used where they fit, especially for worries about purpose, loss, or life transitions. Wendy has a background in mental health nursing and public health research. That experience informs practical tools she offers, such as emotional regulation, sleep and stress management, and coaching for executive functioning and ADHD-related challenges.
She also works with trauma, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes structured programmes when helpful, for example relationship repair, preparing for separation, addiction-specific work, and self-compassion training. She uses validated self-report measures from an external psychology company to track progress and can point people to reliable resources and links.
Wendy keeps up continuous professional development in areas like trauma, autism, polyvagal theory, and grief. She also provides advanced clinical supervision and has published research on autism, domestic violence, and dementia risk prediction.

How Wendy works online
Mindfulness is used to help people notice bodily sensations and habitual thoughts without judgement, which can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, anxiety and stress management. Wendy will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Deciding on an approach is part of the work and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. It also lets the therapist and client try different ways of working together, such as structured programmes for relationship repair, emotional regulation or ADHD coaching, while monitoring progress with validated self-report measures.
