About Wendy
Counsellor and BACP member, Wendy Joseph has 16 years' experience working in mental health. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationships, grief and related concerns across the United Kingdom.
Wendy trained initially as a UK registered mental health nurse and later completed an MSc in Public Health with a distinction. She also holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and has published research on autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction. Her background includes work with carers, dementia services, intimate partner violence and workplace bullying.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and existential thinking alongside mindfulness and relationship work influenced by the Gottman method. Sessions can be relaxed or structured depending on the issue, with specific programmes available for emotional regulation, addiction, ADHD coaching and relationship repair.
Wendy uses a range of trauma-aware and somatic methods, and keeps up professional learning with around 200 hours of continuing development a year. She can offer validated self-report mental health and well-being assessments via an external psychology provider, and will suggest reliable web resources to support progress.
She also provides advanced integrated clinical supervision and has experience developing group programmes on stress, sleep, depression and coping with voices. Prospective clients are advised to confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Wendy uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotional responses and patterns. That work focuses on understanding connection styles and how they affect stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties.She also uses client-centred methods which prioritise the person's own perspective. This means sessions concentrate on what the client says matters most, and the counsellor follows the client's lead to help clarify thoughts and feelings.
Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice too, offering simple exercises to reduce distress and bring attention to the present moment. These methods can help with anxiety, sleep and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options with the client and together decide what fits best for the person's needs, goals and preferences. That includes adapting methods over time if something is not working.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list explicit delivery methods. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask the provider about the session length and whether any written or assessment tools will be used during the course of work.
