About Wendy
Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people understand their feelings and relationships. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 24 years of practical experience to sessions. Wendy speaks English and works with adults in the United Kingdom.
Wendy focuses on trauma and abuse, and on how those experiences affect mood, relationships and everyday coping.
Background and approach
She also helps with depression, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem and difficulties around intimacy and parenting. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, chronic illness and career stress. Her style is straightforward and calm.
Sessions centre on understanding emotions, identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small changes that feel manageable. She aims to move at each person’s pace and to make therapy understandable and practical. Wendy uses ideas from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and attachment-based thinking to trace patterns from early bonds to present struggles.
Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person’s own goals and strengths. She may also use techniques drawn from dialectical behaviour therapy and existential ideas when they help a particular problem. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, follow the site steps to match and schedule according to availability.

Online support
Working with emotion and attachment online
Wendy uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and respond to painful emotions that shape their relationships. EFT looks at how feelings create patterns between people and helps people find new ways to connect with themselves and others.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to trace how early bonds influence current reactions and relationship habits. This approach helps when people notice repeated patterns of withdrawal, anxiety or closeness that cause distress. Client-centred work keeps the sessions focused on the person’s goals, offering a non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt techniques to match their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video suits longer conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping a steady therapeutic process.
