Wendy Bennett , BACP

Wendy Bennett is a licensed UK counsellor with four years of professional experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, bereavement and a wide range of emotional challenges. She combines her clinical work with volunteer bereavement support at a local hospice, which has deepened her understanding of grief and loss and informed her practice with compassion and practical insight.

Working in a person-centred way, she focuses on creating a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their feelings and make their own decisions. This approach means she will listen, reflect and gently prompt rather than impose tasks or solutions, helping clients build confidence in their own path forward. Wendy has experience supporting those affected by childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce and other life transitions.

Before training as a counsellor she spent 15 years as a teacher, experience she draws on to understand family dynamics and communication patterns. She is a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and holds BACP, a UK professional counselling association membership. Outside of work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and trying her hand at crochet when time allows.

Client-Centered Support and Flexible Online Sessions

Wendy practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening and respect for each person's pace and choices. In this approach the therapist creates a supportive environment that helps people explore feelings about relationships, grief, anxiety and personal change without pressure to follow set tasks. It is particularly helpful for those who need a compassionate space to make sense of difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful, adapting her style to the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while traveling within the UK, and choose the communication style that best suits each individual’s comfort and circumstances.
