About Wendy

Wendy Johnson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people recover from trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with grief and major life changes. She works from the idea that each person knows their own story and strengths.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that bravery in starting therapy. Wendy has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward conversations to help clients make sense of upsetting events and their effects. Sessions aim to build on what already works in a person’s life while gently testing new ways of coping. Her approach is practical and paced to the individual.

She listens for what matters most, then helps break problems into manageable steps. That can mean setting small goals, practising new responses, or finding ways to remember and grieve losses. People who come to her often want help to reduce distressing memories, manage strong feelings, or find a path through big life changes.

Wendy offers a calm, steady presence and clear ways to move forward. She encourages clients to use their strengths and to try different strategies until something fits. Wendy explains things plainly and avoids technical language.

She works collaboratively so clients feel part of decisions about their care. If someone wants a straightforward, empathetic counsellor for trauma, grief or change, she may be a good match.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Wendy lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people to process distressing memories by working safely through what happened, reducing the power those memories hold and easing related emotions. Another approach centres on coping skills and problem-solving, teaching clear strategies for managing strong feelings and day-to-day stressors so people can function better between sessions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Wendy collaborates with clients to choose the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She will explain options, try methods carefully, and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer to write. These formats give flexibility while keeping the focus on pace, clarity and steady progress.
