About Wendy

Wendy Johnson works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recover after trauma and cope with major life changes. She uses a straightforward style to help clients make sense of loss and manage grief. Wendy is identified by her BACP credential, which recognises professional membership in the UK counselling field.

She has seven years of practice experience. That time has included working with people affected by abuse and with those facing significant transitions.

Background and approach

Wendy focuses on practical steps people can use day to day, and on recognising strengths they already have. In sessions she encourages clients to tell their story at their own pace. She listens for what matters most, then helps set clear, achievable goals.

Conversations are aimed at building coping strategies and reducing overwhelm. Wendy believes the first step is often the hardest and she aims to make that step less daunting. She invites clients to try small changes and notice what helps.

Over time those small changes can add up to steadier adjustment. Her work is delivered in English and takes place in the United Kingdom. People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach that emphasises practical coping, emotional processing, and building on personal strengths.

Approaches that guide online therapy and what they do

Wendy works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people process difficult experiences and build coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people process trauma by slowly making sense of painful memories and reducing their hold on daily life. This can help when past events keep affecting mood, sleep, or relationships. Another approach centres on grief work and coping with loss, helping people make meaning after a bereavement and find ways to manage day-to-day tasks during hard periods.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. Decisions about how to proceed are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and messaging lets people write about thoughts between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family life, or mobility constraints while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
