Wendy Bennett, BACP

Wendy Bennett is a licensed UK counsellor who combines professional training with hands-on experience supporting people through relationship difficulties and bereavement. She holds BACP accreditation, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works in a person-centered way - often described as client-centered therapy - which prioritizes the client’s own choices and pace.

She has developed particular experience with relationship issues in both family and intimate contexts, and she volunteers at a local hospice, which informs her work with bereavement. Her practice also supports people coping with childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce and other challenging life circumstances.

Wendy’s approach is relaxed and informal; she aims to create a space free of judgement where people can explore what is on their mind. Rather than imposing tasks, she listens, offers gentle prompts and supports clients to make their own decisions and find their own path forward. She is a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Before training as a counsellor, Wendy spent 15 years as a teacher, experience that contributes to her understanding of human behaviour and relationships. Outside of work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and attempting to crochet when she has spare time.
