Wendy Bennett, BACP

Wendy Bennett is a UK counsellor with four years of professional practice who focuses on relationship challenges, bereavement, trauma and a wide range of emotional difficulties. She combines her counsellor training with volunteer bereavement work at a local hospice, bringing particular experience supporting people through loss alongside work with childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence and the practical aftermath of separation and divorce.

Working in a person-centred way, Wendy aims to create a calm, non-pressured space where clients are listened to and supported to make their own decisions. Her approach is collaborative and respectful - she does not push clients toward exercises they do not want to do but instead offers prompts, reflection and steady encouragement to help people find their own path.

Before training as a counsellor, Wendy spent 15 years as a teacher, experience she draws on to understand human behaviour and communication. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and welcomes people facing issues such as stress, self-esteem difficulties, parenting challenges, intimacy and attachment concerns, addiction and chronic illness among others. Wendy is a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. Outside work she enjoys walking her three dogs, painting and occasional crochet when time allows.
