Wendy Trickett , NCPS

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the North of England with nine years of professional experience. She holds NCPS, which denotes her registration with a recognised professional body. Wendy focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.

Wendy uses a person-centred approach that starts with listening. She believes each person knows their life best and already carries strengths that can be used to face problems. In sessions she helps clients notice those strengths and build on them in practical ways.

Her work includes support for stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief and loss, and issues with addiction. She also helps with intimacy-related worries, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, and career-related stress.

Wendy draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and narrative techniques with a client-centred stance. That means sessions focus on the person's priorities and everyday steps they can try between meetings.

People can expect straightforward language and a calm, non-judgemental tone. Wendy aims to make practical plans that fit daily life and to support clients as they experiment with new ways of coping and relating to others.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where taking small committed steps can make a difference. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT can be helpful for low mood, anxiety, sleeping problems and managing anger. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work and relies on a trusting, respectful relationship to help people find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit clients who prefer shorter, text-based contact or flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
