About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of practice. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties and many other life stresses. Wendy helps people who are struggling to make sense of where they are and what they want next.
She describes trauma broadly as anything that felt overwhelming at the time. That view shapes how she talks about problems such as anxiety, addiction, anger and low mood. Wendy uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice patterns and understand their emotions.
Her approach draws on attachment work and client-centred ways of talking. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the person's needs. Sessions tend to focus on making small, manageable changes rather than imposing labels or strict treatment plans.
Wendy encourages people to go at a pace that feels workable. She listens for recurring relationship patterns and for how past experiences affect present choices. Practical skills for coping, communicating and managing strong feelings are offered alongside reflective discussion.
Outside clinical work she spends time with family, her Labrador, and painting in watercolours. To begin, people are invited to use the site's matching steps to choose online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire, and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Wendy draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses; this helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties. She also works in a Client-Centred way which means conversations are guided by the person's concerns and pace, allowing the counsellor to reflect back what feels most important. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviour, useful for problems like anger, self-control and addictive patterns.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to use. That collaborative step helps ensure sessions focus on what feels most useful for the individual.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what suits them, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work and family commitments.
