Wendy Bennett
Person-centred counsellor offering calm support
About Wendy
Wendy Bennett welcomes people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or major life changes. She is easy to talk to and aims to create a calm space where people can say what they need to. Wendy uses a person-centred style that keeps the focus on the person's own goals and choices.
Her approach is straightforward and non-judgemental. She listens, gently prompts, and helps people make decisions that feel right for them.
Background and approach
Sessions do not include pressure to complete homework or exercises unless the person feels it would help. Wendy has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Before becoming a counsellor she spent 15 years working as a teacher, a background she says helped her understand how people learn and change.
She has volunteered at a local hospice, where she worked with bereavement and end-of-life concerns. That experience informs her work with grief and loss, and with people navigating serious health issues or caregiving strain.
Wendy also offers support for relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, and a range of other issues such as body image, chronic illness, addiction and attachment worries. She identifies as an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and brings a relaxed, compassionate manner to sessions.

How person-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people facing anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship questions and life transitions.Wendy draws on that person-centred way of working in online sessions. She aims to be warm and non-judgemental, encouraging clients to set the pace and decide what to focus on. Finding the right therapeutic fit is a collaborative process and she will discuss options and adjust the approach to match each person's needs and goals.
Online therapy here is offered through several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow for more flexible, written exchanges that some people find easier to fit around work or caring commitments.
These options make counselling more accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or long distances to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods across these formats to help people make steady progress.
