Wendy Bennett, BACP

Wendy Bennett is a licensed UK counsellor who brings a calm, person-centred approach to supporting people through relationship challenges, grief and a wide range of life difficulties. With four years of experience, she has particular experience working with family and intimate relationship issues and offers additional bereavement expertise developed through volunteering at her local hospice.

She works with childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce and separation, and other circumstances that can leave people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Her practice also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, parenting, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and a range of additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and substance concerns.

Wendy practises in a client-centred way, which means she prioritises listening, empathy and respect for each person s pace and choices rather than prescribing tasks or pressure. She aims to prompt reflection and support clients as they make their own decisions and find their own paths forward. She is a BACP member - BACP stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she draws on her background as a teacher of 15 years to understand people and communication.

Outside of work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying to crochet when time allows, and she is a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Client-Centred Care Delivered Online

Wendy Bennett works from a client-centred approach, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-pressured space where clients lead the pace and direction of therapy. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening, validation and helping clients clarify their own goals - it is useful for issues like relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety and life transitions.

Because Wendy has experience supporting bereavement and relationship concerns, she adapts the client-centred stance to bereavement-informed support, offering steady presence and attentive listening while clients process loss and related emotional challenges. This style helps people explore feelings, rebuild self-understanding and consider practical next steps at a pace that feels manageable.

Online therapy with Wendy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change. Wendy collaborates with each person to find the format and pace that best suit their needs, goals and preferences.
