About Wendy

Wendy Russell is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with a warm, down-to-earth manner. She aims to help people untangle thoughts and feelings so life feels more manageable. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small steps that can make a difference.

Wendy commonly supports people coping with anxiety, low mood and stress linked to work or life change. She also helps with relationship worries, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and questions about life purpose.

Background and approach

There is additional experience addressing areas such as BDSM and kink, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency and issues around infidelity. Her approach is integrative and collaborative. She draws on client-centred methods to follow what the person says, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals.

Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are also used where they suit the person’s needs. Wendy has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Therapy can include practical tasks between sessions when useful, and sessions are shaped around each person’s aims. People looking to begin simply complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions via the platform. Wendy aims to create a space where clients feel heard, gain clarity and learn ways to cope better with life’s challenges.

How Wendy’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client, reflecting feelings and encouraging people to find their own answers. This approach helps with relationship worries, self-esteem and feeling heard.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It involves spotting patterns that cause distress and trying practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT suits concerns like anxiety, stress and unhelpful thinking around relationships or work.

Wendy will work collaboratively to choose and adapt the right methods. She checks in about goals and preferences, and changes the approach as needed so therapy stays relevant and useful. Finding the best fit is part of the process rather than a fixed start point.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are held. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
