About Wendy
Wendy Bennett offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss and relationship pain. She introduces herself plainly and lets clients set the pace. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to each person rather than a fixed programme.
Wendy uses a person-centred approach. That means she listens, reflects and helps people find their own solutions. She will not push tasks someone does not want to try, but she will ask questions and offer gentle guidance to help clarify choices.
Background and approach
Wendy has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Before training as a counsellor she worked as a teacher for 15 years, experience she says gave her insight into people and how they cope with change.
She has worked with grief through volunteering at a local hospice, and she also supports people dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence and separation. Additional areas she focuses on include parenting concerns, ADHD, self-esteem, body image and issues around attachment and abandonment. Wendy describes her style as relaxed and informal.
She aims to create a non-judgemental space with compassion and empathy. Outside work she enjoys walking her dogs, painting and trying to crochet when time allows.

Approaches Wendy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
That way of working is gentle and adaptable. Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will discuss options with each person. Together they will consider goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adjusting the style as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer visual contact. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free communication is needed. Text-based messaging and live chat can suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling or times when writing helps someone organise thoughts.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and help people access support from wherever they are in the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to provide continuous, practical care aligned with the client's needs.
