About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a counsellor who draws on a people-centred approach to help clients find practical ways forward. She works in a warm, empathic manner and encourages people to notice their own strengths while talking through difficult feelings. Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Wendy has 24 years of experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, addictions, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with sleep problems, eating concerns, anger and self-esteem, as well as life changes like grief and career transitions. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred listening and tools from dialectical behaviour work and emotionally-focused approaches. Sessions aim to help people understand emotions, build coping skills and strengthen important relationships. Wendy prefers to move at each person's pace and keeps the work practical and grounded.
Wendy does not insist on diagnoses; she focuses on what is making life harder now and what small changes might make a difference. She also supports people with specific concerns such as ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue and long-term health issues. Outside work she enjoys time with family, long walks with her Labrador and painting with watercolours.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's schedule. The process is straightforward and intended to help people start with clear goals and realistic steps.
How Wendy's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; it helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more secure ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening without judgement and follows the client's lead, which can help people feel heard and make their own choices. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotional regulation, useful for issues like anger, impulse difficulties and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, try different methods when needed, and shape the work around the client's goals and pace. This helps ensure sessions focus on practical steps as well as deeper understanding.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care during moves or busy periods, while the therapist and client agree together how best to structure sessions for each situation.
