About Wendy
Wendy Russell offers a warm, down-to-earth counselling style that centres on the person in front of her. She presents therapy as a collaborative process where your voice matters and you are heard. Wendy draws on practical methods to help people feel less stuck and more able to move forward.
She often works with anxiety that comes from social situations, dating apps, starting or ending relationships, or life changes such as a job move. Work-related stress and low mood are common reasons people come to her. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship worries, low self-esteem and questions about life purpose.
Wendy uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to change unhelpful thinking, client-centred listening to help people feel understood, and brief solution-focused steps to try between sessions. She describes her overall method as integrative, tailoring sessions to what helps most in everyday life.
Her practice also addresses more specific concerns such as intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and aspects of alternative sexual culture including BDSM and kink. Other areas she covers include codependency, communication problems, infidelity, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
Wendy is based in the United Kingdom and has seven years of experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works in a way that encourages small, manageable changes over time.
Approaches that translate well to online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings, relationship worries or decisions about work. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress, and often includes exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as sessions continue so the plan fits what actually helps in everyday life.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to balance work and family commitments. Others prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that better suits their day. Discussing practical arrangements when you start can help shape sessions to your routine and needs.
