About Wendy Brook
Wendy Brook is a warm, empathic therapist who brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work supporting people through life’s challenges. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore how they arrived at their current difficulties and identify the next steps toward greater wellbeing. Wendy believes individuals often have the inner resources to change and that the right professional support can help those resources become more accessible.
Her practice places particular emphasis on trauma and abuse across the lifespan, including experiences that occurred in childhood or adulthood and events that felt overwhelming at the time. She has extensive experience with issues that often accompany trauma - relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and other emotional challenges. Wendy also works with concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and family dynamics, ADHD, bipolar presentations, and occupational or caregiver stress.
Wendy uses an integrative, preventative approach that does not rely solely on formal diagnosis. She focuses on helping clients understand emotional patterns and build practical skills for coping and change, pacing work according to each person’s needs. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom - and combines professional expertise with genuine compassion and belief in clients’ capacity for growth.
Outside of practice, Wendy enjoys time with family and friends, walking with her Labrador, watching horse events, and painting with watercolours.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Wendy draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and ongoing relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. This work helps people who struggle with attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption or blended family issues to understand and reshape their connection styles.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - which combines practical skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be helpful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactive behaviours that interfere with relationships and daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another approach Wendy employs when relationship patterns and emotional experience are central to a client’s concerns. This method focuses on identifying and working with core emotions to strengthen bonds and resolve recurring conflicts in intimate and family relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy collaborates with clients to clarify goals, consider what methods fit their needs and preferences, and adapt the work over time so treatment feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to engage in therapy around work, family, mobility, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit a client’s life and schedule.
