About Wendy
Wendy Russell is a counsellor who uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage anxiety and related stresses. She keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth so clients can talk through what matters most. Wendy explains things plainly and works alongside people to find manageable steps forward.
Wendy draws on several therapy styles and adapts them to each person. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where people feel heard.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. She also brings in mindfulness techniques to help people pause and notice their thoughts without getting swept up. Where relationship patterns are important, elements of the Gottman Method and psychodynamic ideas help look at how past experiences shape current connections.
Wendy aims to blend these approaches so sessions suit each person's needs. Wendy has seven years of experience working with concerns such as stress, relationship difficulties, depression, grief, self-esteem and life changes. She also supports people navigating kink and alternative sex culture, caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and issues around intimacy and commitment.
Wendy holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by call, phone, chat or text messaging. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people make clear, realistic changes over time.
Therapy approaches for online support
Wendy uses Client-Centred Therapy to provide a listening, non-judgemental space where people can explore what matters to them. This approach focuses on understanding the person and helping them find their own solutions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety or low mood and to try practical experiments to shift those patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That can mean trying a few ways of working and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls give a more personal interaction, phone works well when bandwidth or cameras are an issue, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday life while still using the therapeutic tools Wendy offers.
