About Wendy
Wendy Russell is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS with seven years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low mood and life changes. Guilt and shame are listed among her focus areas and she also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns and issues around self‑esteem.
Wendy uses a mix of straightforward talking, practical exercises and reflection. She draws on Client‑Centred approaches to help people feel heard and understood. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Sessions can include gentle mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to look at past influences on present feelings.
She often helps people who are overwhelmed by work stress, career transitions or the emptiness that follows loss. Wendy also works with concerns from dating and intimacy, including anxiety related to dating apps and starting new relationships. Other specific areas she notes are codependency, forgiveness, infidelity, blended family issues and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture.
Practical work between sessions is sometimes offered, such as short exercises and reflection tasks. The counselling style is described as down‑to‑earth and collaborative, with straightforward conversation and tasks that aim to be useful in everyday life. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and location details are in the United Kingdom.
Wendy works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Wendy combines Client‑Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and sometimes draws on Gottman ideas for relationship concerns. Client‑Centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own pace for talking about difficult feelings. CBT looks at thought patterns and practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. The Gottman Method offers concrete skills for communication and conflict management in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy collaborates with each person to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying short practical tasks between sessions, focusing on thoughts and actions for a while, or spending time looking at how past experiences shape current feelings.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit counselling into work breaks, reduce travel time and choose quieter surroundings when needed. Some formats can make it easier to check in without video, or to keep sessions brief during a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work via the session types they offer.
