About Wendy

Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses a compassionate, person-focused approach to help people through tough times. She brings 24 years of experience and a steady, calm presence to conversations about loss, pain, and change. Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Wendy works with many kinds of difficulties. These include trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing parenting stresses, sleep or eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, and the fatigue that comes from caring for others. Her work covers a wide range of life challenges in plain, practical terms. Her approach centres on helping people recognise patterns and build practical skills to feel more able day to day.

She combines client-centred listening with attachment-focused insight and elements of dialectical work to help with intense emotions. Sessions are paced to the individual and aim to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Wendy explains things simply and avoids technical jargon.

She helps clients make sense of how past experiences shape current reactions and offers tools to reduce distress and improve relationships. The focus is on small, steady steps that fit into everyday life. Outside the room, Wendy enjoys time with family and her Labrador, long walks, watching horse events, and painting with watercolours.

New clients are invited to ask questions so they can decide if the fit feels right before they begin.

How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations in current relationships. Online sessions can unpack those patterns and help people recognise triggers and build healthier ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people find their own answers; it suits those who need a supportive space to talk things through and feel heard. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed online.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's needs and goals. That might mean blending approaches, trying practical DBT skills for emotional regulation, or using attachment ideas to repair relationship patterns. Decisions are made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical advantages. Video calls let visual cues guide the conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, live chat allows short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
