About Wendy

Wendy Mason is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has 28 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career changes and ADHD.

Wendy frames therapy around the person in front of her rather than labels. She listens to each story and works with clients to identify practical steps they can try. Sessions focus on manageable goals, clearer communication and building everyday coping skills rather than complex jargon or rigid rules.

Her background includes long-term work supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and coercive control. She has experience with neurodiversity and with a wide range of relational and attachment difficulties. This experience shapes how she helps people address trust, boundaries and repeated patterns in relationships.

Wendy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes and regulate strong emotions.

Sessions also look at concrete problems like work stress, studying pressures, and starting a first job or new relationship. Practical strategies, clear explanations and steady support are emphasised so people can apply what they talk about to everyday life.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-led actions so they can move forward despite difficult feelings. Attachment work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate to others.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify practical patterns in thinking and behaviour. CBT offers straightforward tools to test beliefs, try small changes and reduce anxiety or low mood over time. These methods are used as part of a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together what feels most useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That discussion guides which methods are emphasised and how sessions are paced, so the work fits the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and cut travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflection tasks and communication practice for remote meetings so the work links to everyday life.
