About Wendy
Wendy Bennett is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and mood difficulties. Her background also includes work around ADHD and intimacy-related issues.
Wendy describes her approach as person-centred, which means sessions focus on the person's own concerns and choices. She aims to listen, prompt and support people to reach their own decisions rather than prescribe tasks. That approach suits people who want a conversational, reflective space to make sense of pressures and next steps.
She has experience supporting people who have been bereaved, through volunteering at a local hospice, and she has worked with issues arising from domestic violence, separation and childhood trauma. Before training in counselling she spent 15 years as a teacher, which she says helped build understanding of different responses to stress and change.
Wendy says she keeps sessions relaxed and informal. She is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and occasional crochet, which she finds helps her recharge.

Client-centred approaches and online working
Wendy works in a person-centred way, which means the conversations focus on the person's experience and choices. The counsellor listens, reflects and offers prompts to help people clarify what matters to them and decide on practical next steps. This approach can be helpful for issues like stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem and grief.Person-centred work often suits people who prefer a conversational, non-directive style. It gives room to work through feelings about life transitions, identity and career starts without pressure to follow a set programme. That style can be combined with practical problem-solving as the client and counsellor agree what is useful.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the way sessions are run to fit those aims. The work is collaborative and shaped over a few sessions as priorities become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into study, work and daily life by removing travel and making it easier to book around classes or shifts. Different formats may also suit different moments - for example a shorter check-in can fit a busy day, while a longer session may suit deeper reflection. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors can usually discuss which arrangement best fits practical demands and personal preference.
