About Wendy Joseph
Wendy Joseph is a seasoned mental health professional and BACP-accredited therapist with a broad clinical and research background. She holds an MSc (Distinction) in Public Health - a master-level degree awarded with distinction - and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, reflecting undergraduate study with honours. Wendy is an Advanced Integrated Clinical Supervisor and describes herself as a trauma-informed and neurodivergence-informed practitioner. She also worked as a UK registered mental health nurse for 20 years before retiring from that role, and she has contributed to research with four published papers on topics including autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction. Wendy is awaiting PhD candidacy.
Her therapeutic stance blends humanistic and integrative influences; she trained in Gestalt therapy and draws on approaches that attend to both psychological insight and bodily experience. Her practice incorporates polyvagal-informed stress theory, somatic experiencing, trauma and disorganised attachment body approaches, positive psychology, solution-focused brief therapy and the FLASH technique for trauma processing. She is engaged in Gottman Institute training for couples work and offers ADHD-informed coaching and autism-aware support.
Wendy provides structured programmes for areas such as attachment style work, executive functioning, emotional regulation, addiction (including porn and masturbation addiction), ADHD coaching, self-compassion, anxiety management, relationship repair and preparing for separation or divorce. She routinely completes extensive continuing professional development - roughly 200 hours per year - across topics such as trauma, attachment science, neurodiversity, grief and suicide prevention. Wendy can arrange validated self-report mental health and wellbeing assessments through an external psychology provider and offers tailored resources to support personal growth. Her approach is relaxed and flexible while following the client’s lead, and she brings clinical supervision and research experience to complex or specialist presentations.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy with Wendy Joseph
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises understanding patterns that develop from early relationships and how those patterns influence current emotions and connections. It can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and complex responses to trauma by exploring relational needs and building more secure ways of relating.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and innate capacity for growth. The therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaborative listening so individuals can explore values, identity and choices; this approach supports self-esteem, life transitions and coping with anxiety or depression.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. Simple mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation, stress reduction and improved sleep by helping people notice patterns without being overwhelmed by them.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Wendy works collaboratively to identify which methods best fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She tailors plans iteratively so the approach evolves with the client rather than being fixed from the outset.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make arranging sessions more flexible around work, caregiving and mobility needs. These formats allow registered professionals and therapists to maintain regular contact, offer timely support and adapt session length or frequency to suit different stages of therapy.
