Wendy Dunbar

Wendy Dunbar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on supporting women with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and depression. She works to create a calm, trusting space where people can talk openly and begin to make small, practical changes. Wendy uses plain conversation and attentive listening to help clients feel heard and understood.

She draws on three years of practice and a background in health and education. That experience includes supporting people through life-changing illness or injury and helping those who struggle with compulsive behaviours. Wendy also has long experience working with children in schools, which has informed her steady, patient approach.

Sessions centre on building a supportive relationship and looking at what is getting in the way of feeling better. She helps people notice patterns, try different ways of coping, and reconnect with life goals. Practical techniques are combined with time to process grief, loss or difficult emotions.

Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP, which guides her professional practice. She attends regular supervision and ongoing professional development to keep her work reflective and up to date.

People often come with issues such as attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, communication problems, or panic attacks. Wendy aims to help each person find manageable steps forward, regain a sense of control, and rebuild relationships with themselves and others.

How therapeutic methods shape online work

Wendy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and cope with life changes. One common approach is person-centred conversation, which focuses on listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need time to be heard and to build trust before making changes.

She also works with practical, problem-focused methods that help break down overwhelming issues into small steps. These methods can be useful for tackling panic, anxiety or impulsive behaviours by teaching simple coping strategies and planning small experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods feel most helpful. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is working.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care while juggling appointments and daily commitments.
