About Wendy

Wendy Bennett is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing pregnancy-related worries alongside everyday life stresses. She speaks plainly and listens carefully, helping people untangle anxiety, grief and relationship strain. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most to them.

Wendy uses a person-centred approach, which means she follows each person's pace rather than imposing homework or rigid tasks. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, recognising patterns, and making choices that feel right for the individual. This way of working can be useful for anxiety, depression, parenting pressures and changes related to pregnancy and childbirth.

Her background includes time as a teacher for 15 years and volunteering at a local hospice supporting bereavement. That combination has shaped a practical, steady style that values clear listening and straightforward conversation. She aims to offer empathy and understanding without judgement.

Wendy also supports people dealing with trauma, intimate partner violence, divorce, attachment and abandonment worries, body image concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving or chronic illness. She is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and frames work around each person's identity and needs.

People new to counselling are guided through a simple start process and can expect relaxed, informal sessions that prioritise their comfort. Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying to crochet when time allows.

How client-centred counselling works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. The counsellor aims to understand your feelings without pushing tasks you do not want to do. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and pregnancy-related stress.

The process is collaborative from the start. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide what feels most useful. Adjusting the way of working is part of the process rather than a one-time decision.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and removing travel time so appointments can match work or family routines more easily. Online work can also make it simpler to check in between appointments or to keep a steady schedule during life changes. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the available options before booking to ensure they fit your needs.
