Wendy Trickett, NCPS

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works from a person-centred perspective and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. Wendy also supports clients dealing with relationship and family tensions, parenting strains, and life changes.

She uses plain conversation and active listening to help people spot strengths they may not yet see. Sessions aim to be practical and steady, helping clients build coping skills for everyday challenges such as sleep problems, anger, or career pressures. Wendy also offers help for grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns.

Her background includes work with issues linked to attachment, blended family arrangements, caregiver stress and ageing concerns. She also addresses sensitive matters like domestic violence, infidelity, HIV/AIDS and feelings of guilt or shame. Wendy draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Wendy uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, narrative techniques and mindfulness alongside client-centred work. These approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of thinking, and build valued routines.

Sessions are offered in English and can work for people located outside the UK as well. The first meetings usually focus on what matters most to the person and on practical steps they can try between sessions.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and homework that can be used between sessions. It often helps with low mood, sleep problems and anger. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, non-directive space where the counsellor listens and reflects so the person can draw on their own strengths and make choices about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss different methods and adapt techniques to suit the person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so people can try approaches and change direction if something does not fit.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people read facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
