About Wendy
Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the North of England with nine years of professional experience. She draws on a person-centred stance and practical therapeutic methods to help people untangle relationship and family difficulties. Wendy aims to make the first steps feel simple and manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
Wendy believes people know their own stories best and that small strengths often get overlooked. She helps clients notice those strengths and use them to move through life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused on what matters to the person in front of her, not on fitting someone into a label. Her practice blends narrative ideas with cognitive and acceptance-based techniques. That mix allows a balance of talking through painful memories and trying out new responses to stress and worry.
She also uses mindfulness exercises to help with sleep, anxiety, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Clients often bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction, and career difficulties. Wendy also supports people dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and problems arising from separation or infidelity.
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She offers straightforward tools and listening that aims to restore clarity and calm. People meet practical ideas and compassionate support tailored to their everyday life.

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
How narrative and acceptance-based work online can help
Wendy uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories. This approach looks at the stories you tell about your life and helps find new ways to describe what you value and who you are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and motivation.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Wendy will listen to your concerns and together you will decide which methods fit best. She adapts conversations and exercises so they match your goals and everyday routine rather than prescribing a single path.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let you share thoughts in writing and fit counselling into busy days. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going when life is busy.
