About Wendy
Wendy Dunbar is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and depression and helps with family-related concerns. Wendy also addresses issues such as panic attacks and mood disorders.
She uses a person-centred stance and aims to build a trusting working relationship. Wendy listens to what matters to each person and helps them talk through painful or stuck places. She focuses on practical steps that someone can use day to day.
Wendy has worked across health and education settings. That background includes supporting people with long-term physical health problems and using relaxing body techniques to help with physical and emotional wellbeing. She has many years of experience supporting children in schools, particularly those with learning or behavioural differences.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and keeps up to date through regular supervision and continuing professional development. That professional framework informs how she works and how she reflects on her practice.
In sessions Wendy often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and life changes such as divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with isolation, issues with body image, and the after-effects of trauma or significant illness.
People who choose her tend to be looking for steady, practical support to work through family strain, strong emotions, or repeated patterns that sap energy. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see how the work fits.
How sessions work
Approaches explained and how online work fits
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the person and on practical tools. A person-centred approach foregrounds the client's own goals, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and helping clarify what matters most. This approach can help when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to start making changes.She also draws on relaxation and body-focused techniques that link physical tension and emotional strain. These techniques can be helpful for people coping with chronic pain, illness, or high anxiety by teaching simple exercises to reduce bodily stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Wendy will work collaboratively to identify which approaches suit a person’s needs and preferences and adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
The site notes session options on the online therapy page; please confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering quieter surroundings when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to reach people who need flexible scheduling, while still focusing on achievable goals and follow-up between meetings.
