About Wendy

Wendy Dunbar works with stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief and depression using a person-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of counselling experience in the UK.

She offers a straightforward way of working that focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. Sessions encourage reflection on what matters most and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. The aim is to help people reconnect with others, manage overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of control.

Wendy has worked in health settings where she supported physical and emotional wellbeing with relaxing body techniques. She also spent many years in education supporting children with learning and behaviour difficulties, and has worked alongside other services in wraparound roles.

She has a particular interest in the emotional effects of life-changing physical health problems and injuries. She also has experience addressing emotional issues with people who hold spiritual or religious beliefs, including Christians.

Wendy keeps her practice under the BACP framework and attends regular supervision as part of her professional development. If something is disclosed that raises safety concerns for the person or another, this may be discussed with her supervisor in line with professional obligations.

How Wendy links therapeutic methods to online work

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her person-centred practice. Person-centred work involves listening, reflecting back what a person says, and helping them find their own solutions; it suits people wanting a respectful space to think through feelings and choices.

She also draws on practical relaxing body techniques learned in health settings to help manage somatic tension and stress. These simple methods can reduce bodily tension and support emotional regulation when stress or chronic pain are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy works collaboratively to identify which techniques suit a person’s needs and goals, and will adapt sessions as those needs evolve. Clients and the counsellor decide together what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so check the counsellor's current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and cut travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let someone choose audio rather than video to reduce bandwidth demands.
