Wendy Brook , BACP

Wendy Brook is a warm, empathic therapist with 24 years of experience supporting people through life’s transitions and challenges. She listens attentively and works to help clients make sense of where they are, how they arrived there, and the direction they want to move in. She believes that many people carry the answers within themselves and that the right therapeutic support can help those answers emerge at a manageable pace.

Wendy has extensive experience working with trauma and abuse in many forms, whether those experiences date from childhood, adulthood, or both. She understands that trauma is not always a single dramatic event and can include anything that felt overwhelming or too difficult to manage at the time. Such experiences can lead to difficulties with relationships, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and other challenges that she routinely helps clients address.

Her practice is informed by a preventative, integrative approach that does not always rely on formal diagnosis. Instead she focuses on helping clients understand their emotions and recurring patterns so they can move forward in more fulfilling ways, always proceeding at the client’s pace. Wendy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Outside of work she enjoys time with family and friends, walking with her Labrador, watching horse events, and painting with watercolours. She welcomes questions and encourages anyone who is curious about therapy to ask without hesitation.

Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Remotely

Wendy Brook draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work, and each approach can be adapted for online formats. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current bonds and emotional responses - it helps with attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own pace; it supports self-exploration and personal growth by creating space for the client to find their own solutions. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger, mood instability, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy collaborates with each client to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to adjust methods as progress unfolds so the therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy with Wendy can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to be integrated into a client’s daily life in a way that suits them.
