Wendy Brook , BACP

Wendy Brook is an empathic therapist based in the United Kingdom with 24 years of practice supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She invites clients to explore where they are now, how they arrived there, and what they want to change, working at a pace that feels manageable for each person. Her approach is integrative and preventative - she focuses less on labels and more on helping people understand their emotions, patterns, and strengths so they can move toward more fulfilling relationships and daily life.

Wendy has particular experience with trauma and abuse in all its forms, recognizing that trauma can be any experience that felt overwhelming at the time. That perspective informs her work with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship difficulties, grief, and coping with life changes. Her practice also covers a broad range of specialties including family and parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, among others.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and brings both professional training and genuine compassion to her work. Outside of therapy she spends time with family and friends, enjoys long walks with her Labrador, follows horse events, and paints with watercolours.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Work Delivered Online

Wendy Brook draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support people in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships and helps people build healthier connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and changing emotional responses that underlie relationship distress, making it useful for couples and individuals struggling with closeness and communication. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating mood, which can be helpful for people dealing with self-harm urges, severe anxiety, or strong emotional reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches over time so the work remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, allowing people to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
