Wendy Johnson, BACP

Wendy Johnson is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma and abuse, navigating grief and loss, and adjusting to major life changes. Wendy speaks English and invites people to take the first step toward support when they feel ready.

Wendy believes each person is the expert in their own story. She looks for strengths that can be used when difficult things happen. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, so people leave with clearer next steps and ways to manage day-to-day demands.

Her work often involves talking through painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. She helps people make sense of loss and the emotions that follow. She also supports people as they find ways to adapt when routines or roles shift.

Wendy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and choice of strategies. She uses simple tools and exercises people can try between sessions. The emphasis is on usable skills rather than jargon or complex theory.

People who contact Wendy start by completing a short questionnaire to help match needs and preferences. From there sessions can be arranged in formats that suit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. She aims to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people understand and manage strong emotions. One approach involves helping people process difficult memories in a paced way so those memories become easier to carry; this can reduce the intensity of distressing recollections and make day-to-day life more manageable. Another approach focuses on grief work and practical coping - naming feelings, creating small routines, and trying short exercises that support adjusting after loss or change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. She explains options in plain language and adjusts the plan as progress is made, so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when a lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity of support.
