About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a counsellor who draws on long experience to help people make sense of difficult times. She uses a warm, empathic style and believes many answers are already within the person. Wendy offers steady support while people look at where they are and where they want to go.
She has worked for 24 years with issues such as trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief, anger, self-esteem, sleeping and eating problems, and the pressures of parenting and career change. Money and financial issues are one of the concerns she lists among her focus areas.
Wendy uses approaches that centre on relationships and emotion. She works in a client-centred way, and also draws on attachment-focused thinking and skills-based methods when needed. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client and aim to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Wendy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She emphasises practical understanding over labels and does not assume a formal diagnosis is required to begin work.
In conversation she is straightforward and compassionate. Outside of her practice she enjoys time with family and her Labrador, walking, horse events and painting in watercolours. If someone wants to start, she asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange the first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and connection. Online sessions can be used to notice relationship patterns, practise new ways of relating, and process feelings that affect current relationships.Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and understood. In online conversations the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the client to find their own answers and move at their own pace.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for emotional regulation and stress tolerance. When suitable, Wendy may introduce simple skill-building exercises to help with anger, mood swings, or coping during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan that fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
