Wendy Bennett offers calm, down-to-earth support for people dealing with worry, loss, or difficult life changes. She aims to help individuals who feel stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or weighed down by past trauma. Wendy introduces ideas gently and helps clients find their own solutions at a pace that suits them.

Wendy uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens without judgement and helps people make decisions that fit their lives.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters to the client, not a fixed set of tasks, and Wendy prompts and reflects rather than directing. This style can suit concerns such as grief, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem.

Her background includes four years working as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and volunteering at a local hospice, where she developed experience supporting people through bereavement. Before training in counselling she spent 15 years teaching, which she says gave her a clear sense of how adults and young people respond to challenge.

Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP in her credentials. She identifies as an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and aims to offer a non-judgemental space. Outside work she enjoys walking with her three dogs, painting and trying out crochet when time allows.

Her approach is relaxed and informal, helping people talk through what is on their mind and find practical ways forward.

How Wendy’s client-centred approach works online

Wendy uses client-centred therapy online, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. This approach helps people who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or relationship concerns by letting them set the pace and decide what to explore. Sessions are shaped around each person rather than a fixed programme.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest ways to proceed. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit around busy schedules. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose the format that best fits practical life demands.
