Wendy Mason, NCPS

Wendy Mason is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and grief. She works with issues such as depression, addictions, eating concerns, parenting pressures and self-esteem. Wendy also offers support around trauma and abuse, neurodiversity and identity matters for LGBT clients. She practises with the belief that people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy easier to take.

Wendy draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. Attachment-based and Emotionally-Focused ideas inform work on relationship patterns and how early connections affect current life.

With 28 years of experience and the NCPS credential listed, Wendy combines practical skills with a gentle, person-focused stance. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She pays attention to communication issues, family dynamics and the effects of chronic stress or long-term illness.

Wendy asks people to describe what they want to change and what they hope for from counselling. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits day-to-day life. If you are thinking about starting, the profile directions below explain how to begin.

Approaches that translate well to remote counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small workable steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and current bonds, and it can be useful when relationship patterns or trust are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and can adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use a mix of conversation and simple at-home exercises between meetings to keep progress moving without disrupting daily life.
