About Wendy

Wendy Joseph offers counselling that focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and relationship difficulties, and she uses a range of psychological approaches to do this. She is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) member and has 16 years' experience working in mental health and related fields.

Wendy trained originally as a UK registered mental health nurse and later completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MSc with distinction in Public Health. She has published research on autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction and is awaiting PhD candidacy. Her background includes work with carers, dementia services, autism and intimate partner violence settings.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods and existential thinking, with mindfulness and relationship work from the Gottman approach also in use. She offers structured programmes for topics such as attachment style, executive functioning, emotional regulation, addiction, ADHD coaching, anxiety management and relationship repair.

Wendy uses a mix of practical tools and assessments. She can provide validated self-report mental health and wellbeing measures through an external psychology provider, and she shares evidence-based resources and web links to support ongoing work between sessions.

Training and continuous professional development are a strong feature of her work. Recent learning includes trauma care, polyvagal theory, positive psychology, CBT techniques for anxiety, autism-focused practice and suicide prevention. She is also an accredited advanced integrated clinical supervisor.

People who choose her can expect a flexible, structured approach that follows the client's lead, combined with specific programmes and measurable tools when needed.

How her approaches work in remote counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps with trust, closeness and repeating relationship difficulties by looking at relational patterns and practical ways to change them.

Client-centred therapy relies on the client’s experience and pace. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helping them to talk through feelings and make clearer choices about next steps.

Mindfulness practice involves simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, stress and emotional regulation. These tools are often taught alongside other approaches to help with anxiety and mood problems.

Choosing an approach is part of the process. Wendy will work with the client to identify goals, test what helps and adjust methods based on needs and preferences. This is a collaborative assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer ways to make sessions shorter, use audio-only check-ins, or schedule appointments at convenient times to suit everyday life.
