About Wendy

Wendy Russell is a counsellor who works in a warm, down-to-earth way to help people move forward. She uses a collaborative style so clients can talk through worries and find clearer thinking. Sessions aim to make people feel heard and to reduce the overwhelm that comes with big life changes.

Wendy often supports people coping with anxiety, low mood and work-related stress. She also helps those feeling lost, unsure about relationships, or coping with grief and separation. Additional areas she works with include intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and career questions.

Her practice draws on several approaches to match the person in front of her. Wendy mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused steps. She also uses psychodynamic ideas and mindfulness to help clients notice patterns and build new habits.

Wendy has seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She practices in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Prospective clients who need confirmation of session formats should check current options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Wendy uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. This approach works well when someone needs a supportive space to talk and be understood.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress, and can fit into structured sessions with clear goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking rigidly to one style.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make fitting counselling into a busy week easier and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic or offer a way to continue therapy through transitions such as moving or job change. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, can tailor sessions to make them practical and workable for everyday life.
