About Wendy

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as relationships, family conflict, parenting strain, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her work also covers stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and longer-term challenges like attachment and ageing concerns.

Wendy uses a person-centred stance that treats the client as the expert on their own life. She helps people notice the skills and strengths they already have and use them to face difficult moments. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside reflective conversation about what matters to the client.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness and Narrative approaches are used to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult stories about themselves. These methods are used together, not as fixed rules, to suit the person seated across from her.

Clients commonly bring issues of guilt and shame, forgiveness, intimacy, and family breakdown. Wendy also supports people dealing with career stress, grief, domestic violence aftermath, and substance concerns. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on practical coping alongside exploring feelings.

Wendy sees helping someone change as a collaborative process. She asks practical questions, listens for what matters, and works with each person to set small, manageable goals. People who prefer clear, conversational therapy with a focus on daily life may find her approach helpful.

How Wendy uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters to them, then take actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, guilt and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress.

Wendy combines these approaches with person-centred listening and occasional mindfulness or narrative techniques. Finding the right mix is part of the work; she will collaborate with the client to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. The focus is on small, practical steps alongside talking things through.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises such as mindfulness practice, thought records or value-led actions to a remote setting so the work can continue between meetings.
