Wendy Bennett, BACP

Wendy Bennett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. She supports people dealing with parenting concerns, ADHD, self-esteem issues and the strain of caregiving. Her style is relaxed and informal so people often find it easy to talk about difficult topics.

Wendy follows a person-centred approach. That means she listens without judgement, offers prompt questions and encourages people to make their own decisions. She will not push clients into tasks they do not want to try. The focus is on helping individuals find a path that fits their life.

She has four years of counselling experience and also volunteers at a local hospice where she works with bereavement. Before training as a counsellor she taught for 15 years, an experience she says informed her understanding of people and relationships. This background shapes a calm, supportive way of working.

Wendy works with a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce and communication problems. She is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and is open to discussing identity and relationship matters in a respectful way.

People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle prompts and compassionate listening. Those seeking help for caregiver stress or family-related pressures may find her approach particularly relevant. Confirm current session options before booking.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Wendy uses a person-centred approach that prioritises the client's own pace and choices. In practice this means the counsellor listens attentively, reflects what is said and asks gentle questions to help clients clarify their thoughts. This style can help with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Her bereavement work draws on long-term listening and steady support rather than structured tasks. That way of working helps people who need time to process loss or difficult emotions without pressure to perform or achieve quick outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation often happens in the first sessions and can be adjusted over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives by removing travel and saving time. They also allow short check-ins when needed and can reduce the need to rearrange work or childcare for an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care when meeting face to face is difficult.
