About Wendi
Wendi Furnell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and difficult life changes. Wendi aims to offer a compassionate, respectful space where people can start making small changes.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical planning to tailor support to each person. That might mean working on coping skills, building confidence, or sorting priorities when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Wendi focuses on what someone wants to change and breaks that work into steps that feel achievable. Wendi has four years of professional experience and carries the NCPS credential. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs.
Sessions are calm and direct, with time spent listening and time spent trying things that can help between meetings. People often come to her for help with grief, addictions, sleeping or eating problems, and issues linked to intimacy and sexuality. She also supports those dealing with hoarding, obsessive thoughts, jealousy, infidelity and seasonal mood changes.
The aim is practical improvement rather than labels. Wendi welcomes people from different backgrounds, including those in LGBT communities and veterans. She encourages small, steady steps and supports clients as they try new approaches and build healthier routines.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Wendi bases her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and small changes. One common approach she uses is skills-based work to reduce anxiety and stress - this involves learning breathing and grounding techniques, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and practising new behaviours that ease immediate distress. This kind of work is useful for panic, ongoing worry, and daily stress management.She also uses practical problem-solving and behavioural planning to address issues like sleep, motivation and relationship tensions. That means identifying a few target problems, testing simple experiments between sessions, and adjusting plans based on what helps. This approach suits people who want straightforward tools and measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Wendi will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and agree a plan together. She adapts methods to fit preferences, life demands and what works in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits brief check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel and family life.
