Wendy Cummins
Compassionate psychodynamic counsellor focused on relationships
About Wendy
Wendy Cummins helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship or intimacy-related worries. She also supports people facing anger, self-esteem problems, family tensions, infidelity, jealousy and postpartum depression. Wendy works in a calm, non-judgemental way and focuses on listening first so people feel heard.
Sessions are usually weekly and last 45 minutes. Wendy prefers scheduled video sessions because regular meetings help build trust and make steady progress.
Background and approach
She offers other formats too, and will agree what works for each person. Wendy describes her practice as psychodynamic, which means she looks at patterns of feeling and behaviour that repeat over time. She pays attention to how early attachments and personal history shape current relationships and reactions.
This helps people understand why they do what they do and where change might begin. She also uses client-centred and mindfulness elements to keep sessions practical and grounded. That means the person’s experience guides the pace, while simple awareness practices can help reduce stress between meetings.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life changes. Wendy has four years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early bonds influence current relationships. In practice this means looking at patterns of closeness and distance and how they affect trust, intimacy and reactions to stress. Client-centred work places the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor follows the individual's pace, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and then agree which combination of methods to use. This is a collaborative process where plans can change as understanding grows.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for regular 45 minute sessions when face-to-face contact matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or when fitting therapy around a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and keep progress moving forward.
