Wendy Brook, BACP

Wendy Brook is a warm, empathic therapist with 24 years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life transitions and persistent emotional challenges. She works with individuals to make sense of where they are now, how past experiences have shaped them, and the practical steps that can help them move forward. Wendy holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a blend of professional skill and genuine compassion to her work.

Her practice places particular emphasis on trauma and abuse in its many forms, whether those experiences occurred in childhood, adulthood, or across a lifetime. Wendy describes trauma as any event or pattern that felt overwhelming at the time, and she helps clients explore how those experiences can affect relationships, mood, coping behaviours, addiction, anger, and day-to-day functioning. She also supports people facing depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting stresses, and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns.

Wendy adopts a preventative, integrative approach that prioritises understanding emotions and behavioural patterns over an immediate focus on formal diagnosis. Therapy proceeds at the client’s pace, with an emphasis on collaboration and practical meaning-making. Outside of her clinical role, Wendy enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking her Labrador, watching horse events, and painting with watercolours. She welcomes questions about the therapy process and invites prospective clients to ask for more information.
