About Wendy
Wendy Bennett offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and relationship struggles. She introduces a relaxed, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them and think about next steps at their own pace. Wendy is named in this profile as a counsellor with four years' experience and a BACP accreditation.
Wendy favours a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual's needs. She listens, reflects and helps people find their own solutions rather than pushing tasks or homework they do not want.
How Wendy works
That style is helpful for low mood, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She has experience supporting people affected by childhood trauma, intimate partner violence, divorce and a range of life changes. Volunteer work at a local hospice has given her additional experience with bereavement and serious illness.
Wendy also works with issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, ADHD and challenges linked to attachment and abandonment. She can help people talk through communication problems, commitment concerns and the emotional impact of long-term health conditions. Before training as a counsellor she spent 15 years as a teacher, a background she says helped her understand people and how they cope.
Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and attempting crochet when time allows.

Online support options
Person-centred practice delivered online
Wendy works in a client-centred way which places the person's priorities at the heart of each session. This approach means the counsellor will listen closely, reflect what they hear and help the client come to their own decisions rather than set tasks they do not want. It suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns.The second pillar of her practice is flexibility in how people engage. Sessions can be adapted to suit quieter check-ins, longer conversations or ongoing messaging support so the focus is on what the client needs rather than a fixed format. Wendy will work with each person to agree what feels most useful and will review the approach as goals change.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when a more personal connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera feels like too much. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. Together these options give practical flexibility and wider access to registered or accredited professionals.
