Wendy Russell , BACP, NCPS

Wendy Russell is a counsellor who uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. She aims to help people untangle difficult thoughts so they can feel more settled and make clearer choices. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth and she creates space for people to be heard.

Wendy often supports people coping with anxiety, stress and low mood. She also helps with relationship worries, intimacy concerns, grief and the kinds of life changes that leave people feeling lost. Women’s issues are included among her areas of focus.

She draws on a mix of methods including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred work and solution-focused techniques. Wendy adapts these approaches to each person rather than using one fixed method. Sessions may include practical tasks to try between meetings.

Wendy has seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with people in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted.

Online appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on your experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps you find your own solutions, which can suit concerns like low self-esteem, relationship worries and feeling lost.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It often uses practical exercises and short tasks to reduce anxiety and improve mood. The Gottman Method offers practical communication tools for people worried about relationship patterns and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options and together you will choose methods that fit your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, family and daily life.
