About Wendy
Wendy Russell is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach to help people feel heard and regain direction. She draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage anxiety, low mood and relationship struggles. Wendy aims to create a warm, down-to-earth space where clients can speak openly and be understood.
She commonly works with anxiety that follows breakups, new relationships or life changes. She also supports people experiencing depression, work-related stress, feeling lost or lacking purpose, and issues that affect self-esteem. Codependency, intimacy-related concerns and grief are listed among her focus areas.
Wendy combines practical exercises with reflection. That can mean identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small experiments between sessions, or practising simple mindfulness skills. She sometimes sets short tasks to help people try new ways of coping between meetings.
Her background includes seven years of experience and registrations with BACP and NCPS. Wendy notices patterns from the past that still affect current choices and gently helps people understand those links. She keeps the pace collaborative and adjusts techniques to fit each person's needs.

How Wendy's approaches translate to online work
Wendy blends person-centred therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness in ways that suit remote conversation. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people can speak freely about difficult feelings. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical techniques to test new responses to anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help manage stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk through your goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. She adjusts the mix of listening, practical exercises and between-session tasks based on how you respond.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It can also let people use written exercises and guided mindfulness practices between meetings to reinforce learning without changing daily routines.
