About Wendy

Wendy Brook is a counsellor who uses Narrative approaches alongside client-centred and attachment-based thinking. She invites people to tell their stories and look at how those stories shape daily life. Wendy aims to help people notice patterns, make small changes, and find clearer ways forward.

She has 24 years of experience working with trauma and abuse, addictions, depression and grief. Wendy also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and problems with sleep or eating.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with complex situations such as co-morbidity, chronic illness, and caring responsibilities. Wendy takes a straightforward, conversational approach. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, identifying repeating patterns, and trying practical steps that fit each person’s life.

She believes people hold much of their own knowledge and helps them draw that out in therapy. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Wendy brings long experience and a calm manner to sessions. She aims to work at a pace that feels right for each person and to build a respectful working relationship.

Outside her professional life, Wendy enjoys time with family, walking with her Labrador and watercolour painting. Those interests inform her down-to-earth style and steady presence in sessions.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Wendy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Narrative and relational approaches offered online

Wendy uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and to retell their life stories in ways that open new choices. This approach is useful for issues like trauma, relationship patterns and struggles with identity. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, parenting stress and connection problems. She draws on client-centred principles too, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is often a shared process. Wendy will discuss the different ways of working and try methods that suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will adjust the pace and focus as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
