About Wendy
Wendy Joseph is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, sleep difficulties and anger. Her practice also covers career change, coping with life transitions, coaching and compassion fatigue.
Wendy draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people understand their patterns in relationships. She offers practical, skills-based work such as emotional regulation, executive functioning support and ADHD coaching. Conversations are direct and structured when needed, and she adapts the pace to each person’s situation.
Her background includes long experience as a registered mental health nurse in the UK and research work on autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction. She holds an MSc with distinction in Public Health and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and she has published several papers. Wendy undertakes substantial continuing professional development each year and is preparing for PhD candidacy.
In sessions she uses a mix of mind-body and evidence-informed methods. Examples include polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, trauma-attuned body approaches, solution-focused work, mindfulness techniques and elements from the Gottman Method. She can offer structured programmes for attachment style, addiction, anxiety management, self-compassion and relationship repair.
Wendy uses validated self-report measures from an external psychology provider to track progress. She can recommend reliable resources and reading to reinforce the work between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connection shapes current trust and closeness. Online sessions can look at attachment style, communication patterns and emotional safety in relationships in a clear, step-by-step way.Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s own experience and pace. In practice this means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what matters and helps people find their own solutions. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and then adapts methods as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also means exercises, worksheets and measurement tools can be shared digitally between appointments to support progress.
