About Wendy
Wendy Dunbar offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or loss. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk about what matters most. Wendy aims to help people find clearer ways forward and regain a sense of control in everyday life.
Wendy practises with a person-centred outlook, focusing on respectful listening and building trust. She encourages people to notice how mind and body connect and to start making small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be gentle and paced to the individual's needs. Her background includes work in health settings where she supported physical and emotional wellbeing with relaxation-based techniques. She also has long experience in the education sector and has supported people with learning and behavioural differences alongside other services.
Wendy has a particular interest in the emotional impact of life-changing physical health problems and injuries. She also draws on experience supporting people who hold spiritual or religious beliefs, including Christians. Her additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, chronic pain and communication problems.
Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She maintains regular supervision and continues professional development to keep her practice up to date. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
She also draws on relaxation and body-focused techniques learned from health settings to help with chronic pain, illness-related stress and high arousal states. These methods teach simple breathing and grounding exercises that can reduce physical tension and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travelling, while phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typing or want flexible, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments, while keeping care consistent across appointments.
