About Wendy
Wendy Dunbar is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of counselling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief and depression. Wendy also focuses on issues such as panic attacks, attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and isolation.
Wendy uses a person-centred approach, aiming to listen and help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions are about talking through what matters to the client and noticing patterns that keep problems in place. She explains things plainly and helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes work in health settings supporting physical and emotional wellbeing with relaxing body techniques. She also has two decades of experience in education supporting children with learning and behaviour differences and working alongside other services to offer wraparound support.
Wendy has a particular interest in how life-changing physical health problems affect mental wellbeing. She is experienced supporting people who hold spiritual or religious beliefs, including Christians, when those beliefs are part of their emotional life.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) she follows their ethical standards and attends regular professional supervision. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so the initial meeting can focus on what matters most.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Wendy draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on understanding a person's perspective and reflecting that back. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed or unseen to put their thoughts into words and notice what matters most to them.She also makes use of practical relaxation and body-based techniques learned from her health-sector work. These simple techniques can help when stress or chronic illness make it hard to manage everyday feelings and physical tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the way sessions run to fit their goals and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue working together when life or health issues make leaving home harder.
