About Wendy
Wendy Cummins works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, intimacy issues, anger, depression and major life changes. She also has a focus on infidelity, jealousy and postpartum depression. Wendy is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience.
Wendy uses psychodynamic ideas to look at feelings and patterns that repeat in everyday life. She offers a regular meeting rhythm to help make sense of emotions and behaviours that feel stuck. Conversations aim to increase awareness of how past experiences shape current reactions.
Her practice also draws on attachment-based thinking to consider how close relationships affect wellbeing. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and bodily responses as they arise. Jungian ideas can be introduced to explore personal symbols and deeper material when appropriate.
Sessions are conversational and reflective. Wendy listens and helps people name what is happening for them. Small, practical changes are discussed alongside exploring deeper emotional themes.
She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Wendy combines psychodynamic and attachment-based ideas with mindfulness work. Psychodynamic counselling looks at recurring feelings and relationship patterns to understand how they affect daily life, which can help with depression, relationship issues and repeated behaviour. Attachment-based approaches focus on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape responses to stress, useful for intimacy problems, jealousy and issues after infidelity. Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment and can support managing anxiety and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss different ways of working with each person and decide together which methods best fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to join from wherever they are based in the UK, which can help keep therapy consistent alongside work and family commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
