About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 24 years of experience. She offers help for people dealing with trauma, addiction, depression, relationship strain and codependency concerns, among other issues.
Her work focuses on helping people understand emotions and repeat patterns. She explains how past experiences shape present reactions and helps people name what they are feeling. Sessions are paced to the individual so practical steps and understanding can grow steadily.
Wendy has long experience with trauma and abuse, including difficult events from childhood and adulthood. She describes trauma as anything that felt overwhelming at the time and links it to later problems with anxiety, anger, addiction and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, life changes, career challenges and long-term health issues.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and techniques from therapies such as DBT and emotionally-focused work. That means she pays attention to how close relationships affect feeling and behaviour, emphasises clear listening, and uses skills to regulate intense emotions when needed.
Wendy prefers a practical, plain approach rather than focusing on labels or formal diagnosis. She asks straightforward questions, helps people spot patterns, and works collaboratively to set useful steps forward. Outside work she enjoys walking with her Labrador and painting with watercolours.
To begin, people are invited to use the site booking flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approach and online working
Wendy uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening in her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people respond to closeness and separation, which can help with relationship patterns and codependency concerns. Client-centred work focuses on careful listening and reflection to help people name their feelings and decide their next steps. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help when emotions feel overwhelming, offering practical ways to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behaviour.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss options with each person and decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means the direction of sessions is a collaborative decision based on what feels most useful for the client.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making it easier to schedule during a lunch break or between commitments, and allowing shorter check-ins when that suits. They also let people continue work while living in different parts of the UK. If you need clarity on how sessions run, ask about the specific formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire.
