Wendy Johnson, BACP

Wendy Johnson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience supporting people who are dealing with trauma, abuse, grief and major life changes. Wendy aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s experience.

Wendy believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She focuses on drawing out strengths people already have. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Conversations focus on practical ways to cope day to day while also looking at longer term changes.

Her experience includes helping people who are processing traumatic events and those who are grieving or managing loss. Wendy also helps people adjust after significant life changes, offering space to think through options and reactions. She aims to balance emotional support with clear, simple strategies for coping.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the approach accordingly. She encourages small, achievable steps to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Wendy stresses that seeking help takes courage and she acknowledges that from the start.

People who choose to work with Wendy can expect a calm, steady presence and a practical, strengths-based style. She works in English from the United Kingdom and brings seven years of professional counselling experience to her practice.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online support

Many counsellors use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding reactions to trauma, managing grief and navigating life changes. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns so they can feel less overwhelmed and make clearer decisions. Another often-used approach focuses on processing painful memories and emotions safely, helping people reduce their distress and regain a sense of control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try practical tools and review what helps most, adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Many people find online work fits into busy lives because it removes travel and can make scheduling easier. Before booking, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers. That will help pick options that fit your routine, such as a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a longer session when there is time to reflect. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity of care when life is unpredictable, while still focusing on practical coping skills and steady emotional support.
