About Wendy
Wendy Bennett welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She is a counsellor who aims to create a calm space to talk, think and make choices. Wendy sets a gentle tone and avoids pushing tasks that feel uncomfortable for the client.
Wendy uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens, reflects and prompts rather than directs. This helps people find their own solutions and make decisions that fit their life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at their pace. She has experience supporting people through bereavement, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression and intimate partner violence. That experience includes volunteering at a local hospice, which informs her work with loss and end-of-life concerns.
She also helps people facing challenges such as parenting strain, chronic illness, body image and addiction-related problems. Before training as a counsellor, Wendy spent 15 years working as a teacher. That background contributes to her practical, down-to-earth style and her interest in human behaviour.
She is a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and brings a non-judgemental attitude to sessions. Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying to crochet when time allows. Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

How Wendy works online
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend regular meetings around work or family commitments and to check in from different locations when life is hectic. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available with this therapist.
