About Wendy
Wendy Brook uses an attachment-informed, person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult times. She draws on 24 years of practice to offer calm, practical support for emotional pain and life stress. Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
People come to her for a broad range of concerns. This includes trauma and abuse from any life stage, addictions, depression, bipolar difficulties, and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career strain and compassion fatigue. Sessions are focused and conversational. Wendy pays attention to how early attachment and life events shape current patterns.
She helps people spot unhelpful cycles, try new ways of relating, and build small, manageable skills for coping and emotion regulation. Her style blends client-centred listening with approaches that emphasise feelings and relationships. Where needed she draws on techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy and existential ideas to help people tolerate strong emotions and find meaning after loss or change.
The pace is set by the person coming to therapy. Wendy accepts sessions in English and works remotely with people in the United Kingdom. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Practical matters such as cost vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Outside the consulting room she enjoys long walks, watercolour painting and time with her Labrador. To begin the process people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session when convenient.

Online support
Emotionally-focused ideas centre on naming and shifting strong feelings so relationships and self-understanding change. This approach is useful for grief, intimacy-related difficulties and intense emotional reactions. Dialectical behaviour therapy techniques add practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions and improving regulation in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaboration helps shape which methods are used and how sessions proceed over time.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit shorter updates, reflective notes or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and other commitments.
