Wendy Cummins, BACP

Wendy Cummins works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. She also helps those dealing with grief, relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, anger and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include infidelity, jealousy and postpartum depression. Wendy introduces herself in a calm, welcoming way and aims to offer a non-judgemental space to talk.

Wendy is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice. She prefers to meet regularly to build a steady therapy relationship. Her sessions are described as warm and empathic, with an emphasis on listening and helping people feel heard.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas about how past patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. Wendy helps people notice repeated emotional themes and the beliefs that keep those patterns going. From there she works with clients to make small changes that can improve wellbeing.

Wendy also uses elements of attachment-based and client-centred work to focus on relationships and what clients need from therapy. Mindfulness and Jungian ideas may inform conversations where that feels useful. She keeps explanations straightforward and practical during sessions.

To begin, she asks people to sign up and complete a short matching questionnaire. The therapist then helps schedule sessions according to availability. Wendy emphasises that taking the first step can be difficult and offers an encouraging, listening presence when someone is ready to start.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Wendy integrates psychodynamic ideas with attachment-based and client-centred methods to guide online work. Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated emotional patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour; it can help when someone feels stuck or keeps repeating the same relationship responses. Attachment-based work focuses on how people relate to others and what they need from close relationships, which is useful for intimacy issues, jealousy and relationship strain. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering warmth and empathic listening to help someone feel understood and make their own choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to use in sessions. She frames the work as a partnership and reviews progress as therapy continues.

Check the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can fit more easily into busy lives, reduce travel, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for sessions that focus on talking rather than paperwork. Confirm current session options when you sign up so you can pick what suits your daily routine.
