Wendy Brook
Compassionate attachment-informed counselling
About Wendy
Wendy Brook uses an attachment-informed, person-centred approach to help people untangle difficult feelings and patterns. She draws on two decades plus of experience to offer steady support when life feels overwhelming. Wendy writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Wendy specialises in trauma and abuse in its many forms, and the problems that often follow such experiences.
Background and approach
She also helps people with depression, addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. Practical day-to-day struggles such as sleeping, eating, work stress and parenting concerns are included in her work. Her style is patient and paced to the individual.
Sessions focus on understanding emotional patterns, building healthier relationships, and developing coping skills. Wendy mixes emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening to reach what matters most to each person. Wendy has 24 years of clinical experience working across a broad range of mental health and relational difficulties.
She has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar difficulties, compassion fatigue and long-term health challenges, among other concerns. Her experience includes helping people with complex histories such as abandonment, adoption and blended family situations. Outside of practice, Wendy spends time with family and her Labrador, enjoys long walks and paints with watercolours.
She encourages questions and aims to make the first steps into therapy simple and straightforward.

Sessions & fees
Attachment and Emotion-Focused Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice and change unhelpful patterns in closeness, trust and communication. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and working with key emotions to strengthen relationships and reduce distress. EFT can be useful for grief, intimacy-related worries and deep feelings that feel stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean combining attachment ideas with emotionally-focused listening and client-centred conversation to tailor the sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, want day-to-day support, or need therapy that fits around work and family life. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to everyday routines.
