About Wendy
Wendy Dunbar is a person-centred counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and addiction. She works with individuals facing depression and family-related worries, and supports people dealing with panic, mood issues and problems around self-worth. Wendy is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership, which she follows in her practice.
Wendy creates a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what feels hard. She listens and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. The aim is to help people make practical changes, reconnect with others and regain a sense of control in everyday life.
Her background includes two decades supporting children in education, including those with learning and behavioural difficulties. That work sits alongside experience in the health sector, where she used relaxing body techniques to support physical and emotional wellbeing. These roles gave her experience helping people cope with long-term illness and sudden life changes.
Wendy also works with issues linked to attachment and abandonment, body image, communication and control, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and struggles with impulse control.
She keeps up professional standards through regular supervision and ongoing professional development. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in helping people find their own solutions, drawing on life experience and practical tools that fit their situation.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Wendy draws on person-centred work that focuses on listening and helping people feel understood. This approach concentrates on what matters to the individual, encouraging them to lead the pace and topics of sessions. It can help with stress, low mood and feeling overwhelmed by everyday pressures.She also uses techniques from wellbeing-focused practice that include relaxation and body-based methods learned in health settings. These simple exercises can reduce physical tension and support coping with chronic pain or illness, as well as easing anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy will work with clients to identify what feels most useful, adapting sessions to their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative step and can change over time as needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around work and family life, makes it easier to keep regular sessions, and reduces travel time. Practical benefits can include having shorter check-ins when needed, choosing audio-only if bandwidth is limited, or scheduling sessions around a lunch break at work. Ask about current options when you start the matching process so arrangements suit your routine and goals.
