About Wendy
Wendy Dunbar is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety or ongoing stress. She offers a calm, respectful space to talk and begin finding small, practical steps forward. Her approach centres on listening and helping clients make sense of what they are living through.
Wendy holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she follows for professional standards. She has three years of direct counselling experience and has also worked in health and education settings for many years.
Background and approach
That background informs her practical focus on both emotional and physical aspects of wellbeing. In sessions she encourages open conversation about difficult topics such as grief, addiction, panic attacks or long-term health conditions. She pays attention to how feelings connect with behaviour and day-to-day routines.
The work can include looking at relationships, communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Wendy offers a straightforward, person-centred style that aims to help clients feel heard and clearer about choices. She also brings experience supporting people with body-image concerns, chronic pain or illness, and those coping with life changes like separation or loss.
Her background includes supporting people with faith perspectives when that is important to them. Practical matters are handled simply. Sessions are offered in English by video call, phone, live chat or messaging.
Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and appointments are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire is completed.

Online support
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as work progresses. This collaborative process means methods can change if something else would fit better for the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier when you do not want to be on camera. Messaging and live chat suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when fitting therapy around a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions and to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
