Wendy Cummins , BACP

Wendy Cummins is a qualified psychodynamic counsellor with four years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes membership of the principal professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Wendy works from a warm, supportive and empathic stance, offering an open, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and understood.

She offers time and a safe space to explore what is making someone struggle or feel stuck, and she finds that regular weekly sessions help to build the therapeutic relationship. In practice she often schedules 45-minute video sessions to create continuity and to work through repeated emotions and behaviours that surface over time. Wendy pays attention to the emotional patterns that shape how a person relates to themselves and others, and she supports gradual changes toward greater wellbeing.

Wendy works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, family and intimacy-related concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues such as infidelity, jealousy and postpartum depression. She recognises that starting therapy requires courage and acknowledges the step it takes to ask for help, offering a listening presence for those ready to begin exploring their experiences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Wendy offers psychodynamic, client-centered and mindfulness-informed ways of working that translate well to online formats. Psychodynamic therapy explores recurring emotions and relationship patterns to uncover underlying beliefs and early influences that shape current responses - this can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and difficulties in relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the individual's capacity for self-understanding and growth - it is useful for building self-esteem, managing life changes and working through intimacy-related concerns. Mindfulness-based elements introduce gentle attention to present-moment experience, helping to reduce rumination and improve coping with stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the style of sessions as understanding deepens. This collaborative stance helps shape a personalised plan rather than applying a single fixed method.

Online therapy with Wendy can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity and access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who aim to meet individual needs.
