About Wendy

Wendy Dunbar introduces herself as a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction or grief. Her approach aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can talk through painful thoughts and start to find options for change.

She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them make sense of their experience. This can include struggles with panic, low self-esteem, body image or a sense of isolation and purposelessness.

Background and approach

Wendy also supports people dealing with grief, relationship endings, control issues and problems tied to chronic illness and pain. Her background includes work in the health sector using relaxation and body-focused techniques to support both physical and emotional wellbeing. She also has experience working in education alongside other services to provide joined-up support for individuals with additional needs.

This work shaped her emphasis on practical, person-led help and gentle pacing. Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and follows the organisation's ethical standards. She attends regular supervision and keeps up ongoing professional development to maintain good practice.

In sessions she aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental presence and to help people regain a sense of control. Conversations tend to focus on understanding patterns, managing uncomfortable feelings, and finding steps that fit into everyday life.

Everything Wendy lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Person-centred work is grounded in warm, attentive listening and helping a person name what matters most to them. This approach helps with feelings of low self-worth, loneliness, grief and anxiety by building a trusting conversation where the person leads the pace and focus.

Relaxation and body-focused techniques aim to reduce physical tension that comes with stress and chronic pain. These simple practices can make it easier to manage symptoms such as panic, muscle tension and sleep disruption and can be taught during video or phone sessions.

Choosing the right way forward is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about different approaches, hear what matters to the client, and try options that fit goals and preferences. Together they will agree on small, practical steps and review progress regularly.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter reflections, and text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and travel without losing therapeutic continuity.
