About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people make sense of difficult times. She brings 24 years of experience and a calm, straightforward manner to conversations about what matters most. Wendy helps people notice patterns, name feelings and find practical steps forward.
She often works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse, whether from childhood or adulthood. That work commonly links with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger and relationship strain. Wendy also supports people facing grief, major life changes, parenting stress, career questions and issues with self-esteem or intimacy.
Her approach is conversational and paced to each person. Sessions aim to build clearer understanding rather than focus on labels or fast solutions. Wendy uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when these fit the client’s needs alongside attachment-based and existential ideas.
Wendy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and holds a belief that people often carry their own answers once they have space to find them.
Outside of work she spends time with family and her Labrador, enjoys long walks and paints with watercolours. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online counselling
Wendy draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working and also uses ideas from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape patterns now and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Client-centred work creates a space where the person’s experience is held and unfolded at their own pace. DBT provides practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Wendy discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they match current needs and practical constraints.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for check-ins from a familiar location. It can also support shorter focused sessions or regular weekly meetings depending on what works best for the person.
