About Wendy
Wendy Dunbar is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults presenting stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and related concerns such as guilt and shame. Her practice is aimed at people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or isolated and who want a straightforward way to talk through what’s troubling them.
Wendy uses person-centred ways of working. She listens and helps clients name feelings and notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often focus on making sense of strong emotions, rebuilding day-to-day routines, and exploring relationships and past losses that continue to affect current life.
Her background includes long experience in education and the health sector, where she supported emotional and physical wellbeing with relaxing body techniques. That work informs how she pays attention to both feelings and bodily reactions when anxiety or chronic illness are part of the picture.
Wendy also has experience supporting people with learning and behavioural difficulties and has worked alongside other services offering wraparound support. She is familiar with the psychological impact of life-changing health problems and with emotional concerns connected to spiritual or religious beliefs, including Christian faith.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and takes regular supervision as part of her professional practice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Wendy works from a person-centred framework, which means sessions focus on listening, understanding and reflecting what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone is dealing with shame, guilt or low mood by allowing those feelings to be named and explored at the client’s pace.She also draws on body-aware techniques developed during her health-sector work. These methods use simple breathing and relaxation practices to reduce physical tension that often accompanies anxiety, chronic pain or life-changing illness, making it easier to talk about distressing experiences.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Wendy will discuss options with each person and agree what feels most helpful, using their goals and preferences to guide decisions. That means clients and therapist decide together how much focus to place on feelings, physical techniques or practical problem solving.
