Wendy Dunbar , BACP

Wendy Dunbar offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or addictive behaviours. She aims to make conversations feel straightforward and honest so clients can start to untangle painful thoughts and begin to move forward. Wendy uses plain language and a gentle presence to help people notice what matters to them and to find practical steps they can try between sessions.

Wendy draws on three years of counselling experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has background experience in health settings, where she learnt relaxing body techniques that can help when pain or illness affect mood. That practical experience informs how she links emotions and the body in sessions.

Many people come with feelings of isolation, low self-worth, panic or depression. Wendy also supports people struggling with grief, relationship breakdown, control issues, addiction and body image concerns. She listens for the patterns behind behaviours so that clients can make clearer choices about change.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Wendy encourages small, realistic goals and checks in about what is helpful. When physical health problems or spiritual beliefs are part of someone’s story, she pays attention to those elements and works with them respectfully.

Wendy is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She follows BACP standards and attends regular supervision as part of her professional practice.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building small changes. One common method she uses involves talking through emotions and behaviours to identify triggers and coping strategies, which can help with anxiety, panic and mood difficulties. Another approach links physical sensations to emotional experience and uses simple relaxing body techniques to reduce tension and improve wellbeing, which can be useful for people managing chronic pain or illness.

Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. Wendy collaborates with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts sessions so therapy feels relevant and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep visual connection and pick up on body language. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping the focus on steady progress.
