About Wendy

Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses an empathetic, client-led approach to help people through difficult times. She draws on 24 years of experience to support those facing depression, trauma, addiction and relationship challenges. Wendy believes people often carry their own answers and aims to help them find those answers at their own pace.

Her work focuses on understanding feelings and patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients make sense of how past events affect present choices and relationships.

Background and approach

That practical focus extends to everyday problems such as sleep, eating, work stress and parenting strain. Wendy blends several approaches to suit each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions.

She also practices client-centred methods that put the person’s perspective first, and draws on DBT skills to teach coping strategies. She has particular experience with trauma and abuse, including events from childhood and adulthood. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar and ADHD, and the practical fallout of chronic illness or caregiving roles.

Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Her aim is to listen, clarify what matters and help clients move toward clearer choices.

Outside work she enjoys time with family, long walks with her Labrador and painting with watercolours. That balance informs a calm, steady presence in sessions.

Online support

Wendy combines attachment-based work and client-centred practice with DBT-informed skills. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; it can help when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment issues cause distress. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session and helps people feel heard and understood while they make their own choices. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication and reducing behaviours that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Wendy will discuss options with each person, adapt methods to match their goals and check in regularly to make sure the plan still fits. That shared decision-making helps shape sessions around what a person needs most at any point in their journey.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, reflection between sessions or ongoing check-ins without needing to schedule a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving and other daily commitments.
