Wendy Bennett

Wendy Bennett is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems. She offers a calm, informal space where people can talk about parenting pressures, intimacy concerns, depression, ADHD or life changes without judgement. Wendy also works with issues linked to trauma, abuse and family conflict, and she is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Her approach is person-centred, which means she listens, notices what matters to you, and supports your own decisions. She will not pressure anyone into tasks they do not want to do, but will prompt and encourage exploration where helpful. Sessions focus on understanding your experience and finding practical ways forward.

Wendy has four years of counselling experience. Before training as a counsellor she worked as a teacher for 15 years, which she says helped her learn about people and how they cope. She also volunteers at a local hospice, gaining additional experience with bereavement and end of life issues.

Wendy’s practice includes working with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, addiction, communication and control issues, and divorce or separation. She brings a straightforward, compassionate manner to sessions and uses conversation to help clients make sense of difficult feelings.

Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying crochet when time allows. Those interests shape a relaxed, down-to-earth style in the counselling room.

How Wendy’s person-centred approach works online

Wendy practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings around grief, relationship problems, anxiety or self-esteem without being pushed toward fixed goals.

The therapist’s style is relaxed and supportive, aiming to build trust through empathic listening and thoughtful prompts. This method tends to suit people who want to work at their own pace and make their own decisions about change.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust sessions as things evolve. She encourages open conversation about whether the approach is helping and what might be changed to fit the client better.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and choose a quieter moment for a shorter check-in. It can also allow people to keep regular contact during life changes when attending in person is difficult.
