Wendy Trickett

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the North of England with nine years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and other life challenges. Wendy wants to support people who are ready to make practical changes and find calmer ways of living.

Wendy works from a person-centred view. She believes each person knows their own life story best and already has strengths to build on. In sessions she listens, reflects, and encourages people to notice skills they may not yet recognise. This helps clients feel understood and more able to try new strategies.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness practices and acceptance-based ideas may be used to handle difficult emotions and reduce avoidance. Narrative and solution-focused approaches are brought in where they help clients rewrite their stories and set small, realistic goals.

Wendy has experience supporting people with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, career worries, and sleep or eating concerns. She also works with issues such as caregiver stress, blended family tensions, and relationship intimacy problems. Her approach is practical and collaborative, aiming to build coping tools that fit day-to-day life.

People who prefer a calm, respectful setting and straightforward language tend to find her style helpful. She encourages a steady, step-by-step process so people can try things between sessions and notice gradual changes.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps towards a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps people connect with their own strengths. This approach can be useful for building self-esteem and working through relationship or family worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Practical exercises and short tasks between sessions help people challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is often a shared process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they adapt methods so the work fits the person's needs.

Please confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend from wherever they are based. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help clients stick with practical goals and build new routines.
