Wendy Dunbar offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or grief. She is based in the United Kingdom and works to create a gentle, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is hardest for them and start to make small, manageable changes. Wendy uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience.

Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, helping them notice patterns, make choices and regain a sense of control.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon. Her background includes three years' experience as a counsellor and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Wendy has also worked in health settings supporting physical and emotional wellbeing, including techniques that help bodies and minds relax.

She has practical experience from the education sector where she supported people with learning and behavioural challenges and worked with other services to provide joined-up care. This experience influences the way she plans therapy, keeping the individual at the centre of decisions.

Wendy is interested in how life‑changing physical health issues affect mental wellbeing and in faith-informed concerns, for example with clients who hold Christian beliefs. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It helps with low mood, anxiety, feelings of isolation and life transitions by offering acceptance and a steady, non-judgemental space to talk.

Brief practical techniques involve calming and grounding methods that bring relief during moments of panic or overwhelming stress. These are simple exercises or breathing and body-based strategies that are taught and practised in session to help manage symptoms between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each client to decide what feels helpful based on their goals and circumstances. She adapts her way of working over time if something isn’t helping, so the plan evolves with the person’s needs.

Online therapy enables flexible access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection feels important. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to reflect in writing after a session. Many people find a mix of formats works best for different moments.
