About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses an integrative, attachment-informed approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She emphasises a steady, person-centred way of working so people can move at a pace that feels manageable. Wendy is a BACP member and brings 24 years of experience to her practice.
She focuses on trauma and abuse, including experiences from childhood and adulthood that continue to affect daily life. Wendy also supports people dealing with addiction, depression, grief, relationship strain, intimacy concerns and the practical stresses of parenting and caregiving. Jealousy and communication problems are among the relationship issues she helps people talk through.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to help uncover patterns that might be driving repeated difficulties. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to build emotional awareness and practical coping skills. The emphasis is on noticing what people already do well and building from there.
Wendy describes trauma broadly, including events or experiences that felt overwhelming at the time. She avoids pushing for labels and prefers to focus on how a person feels and what changes would improve daily life. Sessions move at a client’s pace and prioritise clear, practical steps alongside deeper emotional work.
She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Beginning therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site, with sessions arranged according to therapist availability.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why certain reactions feel automatic and how to develop more steady ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, offering non-judgemental listening and space to explore thoughts and feelings at a comfortable pace. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for tolerating distress, managing emotions and improving communication when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel like the best fit for their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different ways of working and adjusting as understanding grows.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a session during a lunch break. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations without video if that feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to online work, focusing on building emotional awareness, improving communication and developing practical coping skills.
