About Wendy

Wendy Russell is a counsellor who uses a warm, down-to-earth style to help people feel heard and understood. She draws on several approaches to guide conversations about mood, anxiety and relationship worries. Sessions aim to make thoughts clearer so practical steps become possible.

Wendy holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has seven years of experience in counselling. Wendy often helps people who are struggling with anxiety that comes from dating, work change, or life transitions.

Background and approach

She also works with low mood and depression when it affects daily life and relationships. Practical coping ideas and gentle reflection are regular parts of her sessions. Her work covers stress, career pressures, grief and feelings of emptiness or loss of purpose.

She also supports people dealing with communication problems, commitment worries, jealousy, infidelity and the complexities of blended family issues. Wendy lists additional focus areas including caregiver stress, codependency, and alternative sex cultures such as BDSM and kink. Wendy uses an integrative approach, combining client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused ideas.

She may also use psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness techniques when they suit a person’s needs. The aim is to match practical strategies with space to reflect on deeper patterns. Sessions are available in English and are delivered online across the United Kingdom.

Therapy works best when it fits the person, so Wendy works collaboratively to set goals and practical steps between sessions.

Online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgement, helping them feel understood and clearer about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety and low mood. The Gottman Method brings structured tools for addressing communication and relationship patterns to improve how partners interact and resolve conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries methods that suit those aims, adjusting the plan as needed. This helps keep the work practical and tailored to the individual rather than following a single formula.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
