Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. She draws on 24 years of experience to help people make sense of painful or confusing moments. Wendy keeps things straightforward and practical, and focuses on the person in front of her rather than on labels.

She often works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse, and with those facing depression, addiction or relationship problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career worries, bipolar mood difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem or anger.

Background and approach

Wendy pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Sessions are shaped around the individual and move at a pace that feels comfortable. Conversations aim to identify patterns, build clearer choices, and develop skills for handling intense emotions.

Dialectical behaviour approaches can help people manage strong feelings while emotionally focused ideas look at repairing attachment and closeness. Wendy is a BACP member, which reflects her adherence to professional standards set by that body. Her style is warm and pragmatic; she helps people find small, steady changes that add up over time.

She avoids medical language unless it is useful to the person she is seeing. Outside work she enjoys long walks, painting with watercolours, watching horse events and time with her Labrador and family. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translates to online therapy

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions, helping people understand why they feel or react in certain ways and how to build safer connections. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own answers. Dialectical behaviour ideas teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress and improving emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits best. That means talking about goals, trying things out together and adjusting methods if something does not feel helpful. The focus is on what the individual needs, not on a fixed formula.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family commitments and other practical demands.
