Wendy Bennett, BACP

Wendy Bennett offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style that aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical ways forward.

Wendy works in a person-centred way, which means she listens first and follows the pace set by the person in the room. She will prompt and reflect rather than push tasks you do not want to do. The focus is on helping each person make decisions that feel right for them.

Her background includes volunteering at a local hospice, where she gained experience supporting people through bereavement. Prior to training as a counsellor she spent 15 years as a teacher, a role that gave her broad experience with people of different ages and situations.

Wendy supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and issues such as self-esteem, depression and ADHD. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment worries, body image and the impact of chronic illness or caregiving strain.

She is a BACP member, which is shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from the United Kingdom. Outside of work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying to crochet when time allows.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows your lead, offers empathy and helps you make your own decisions without pressure. This approach is useful for people facing grief, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship concerns because it creates room to talk at your own speed.

Wendy will work collaboratively to find the right way forward. Early sessions are about understanding your needs, goals and preferences, then choosing an approach that fits. If you want more structure later, that can be discussed together so the work stays relevant to your life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and have a more traditional meeting feel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking.

These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to the way you prefer to work, offering continuity and practical help from wherever you are in the United Kingdom.
