Wendy Bennett, BACP

Wendy Bennett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties and life changes. She works with individuals dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, chronic illness and a wide range of personal concerns. Wendy uses a straightforward, calm style so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Wendy follows a person-centred approach, which means conversations are guided by the client’s concerns and pace. She listens, reflects and gently prompts rather than pushing for homework or fixed tasks. This approach is useful when someone needs to make sense of strong feelings or find their own path after change or loss.

She brings four years of counselling experience and volunteer work at a local hospice supporting bereavement. Before training as a counsellor, Wendy spent 15 years teaching, and she draws on that experience to explain ideas clearly and patiently. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Wendy aims to create a relaxed, non-judgemental space where clients can be honest about difficult topics. She identifies as an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and works to be respectful and open in sessions. Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and occasional crochet.

For people wanting practical listening and steady support while facing health challenges, relationship issues or bereavement, Wendy offers a measured, empathic way of working. Clients who prefer to lead the pace and content of sessions may find this style helpful.

Person-centred care and online support

Wendy works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the client’s experience and priorities. This approach is about listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping people name feelings and make choices that fit their life. It can help with grief, anxiety, relationship issues and coping with chronic illness.

Her style aims to put the client in the lead rather than following a fixed plan. Finding the right approach is part of the work together, and she will discuss what feels helpful based on the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively during early appointments.

Confirm the current online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue regular support during periods of illness or when routines change. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt the length and structure of sessions to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or shorter breaks at work.
