About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a counsellor who works from a client-centred and attachment-informed place. She draws on 24 years of practice to help people understand their feelings, patterns and choices. Wendy aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters to them and find clearer steps forward.
She commonly supports people affected by trauma and abuse, and the problems that can follow, such as anxiety, depression, addiction and anger. She also offers help with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleeping and eating problems, and issues connected to ADHD and bipolar. Wendy recognises that trauma can come from many experiences, not only single dramatic events.
Her approach is integrative and person-focused. That means she draws on different methods including attachment work, client-centred ways of listening and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally-focused techniques. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to make emotions easier to understand and manage.
Wendy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. In conversation she brings warmth, practical questions and an interest in everyday life changes that affect wellbeing.
Outside therapy, Wendy spends time with family and her Labrador, enjoys long walks and likes to paint with watercolours. She encourages people to ask questions before they start so they feel comfortable about the process.
How Wendy’s approaches work online and in conversation
Wendy combines attachment-informed work and client-centred practice to help people make sense of relationships and emotions. Attachment-informed work looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape patterns now and can help with trust, intimacy and reacting to stress. Client-centred work prioritises the person’s pace and perspective, so sessions focus on what feels most pressing for the client rather than a fixed agenda.She also draws on elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach practical coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming. These skills can support better self-regulation, reduce impulsive reactions and improve communication during tense moments. Together these approaches help with a range of issues from trauma responses to anger and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. This means methods can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to join from a quieter place, or choose a phone check-in if bandwidth or camera use is an issue.
