Wendi Furnell
Support for stress, relationships and life changes
About Wendi
Wendi Furnell helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression and changes in life circumstances. She also supports those facing relationship concerns, intimacy issues, addiction-related worries and career stress. Wendi works with a wide range of issues including eating and sleeping difficulties, grief, anger and parenting strains.
Wendi uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people feel steadier. She listens without judgement and adapts the way she talks to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
The aim is to build small, manageable changes that improve day-to-day life. Her background includes four years of professional experience and registration as NCPS. That experience has included helping people with specific concerns such as hoarding, obsessive-compulsive patterns, jealousy and infidelity.
She also has a focus on issues affecting veterans and armed forces communities, bipolar disorder, paranoia and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are shaped around the individual's goals. Wendi works collaboratively to agree what to focus on and which steps to try between sessions.
Progress is reviewed regularly so the plan can change if something isn’t helping. Wendi accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Wendi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood going; it is useful for stress, anxiety and depression. Another approach teaches gradual exposure and response strategies to reduce compulsive behaviours and obsessive thinking, which can help with OCD-like patterns and certain anxieties.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative way of working makes it easier to find a fit that feels useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see body language and have longer conversations. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short, flexible exchanges and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
