About Wendy
Counsellor Wendy Mason, NCPS, has 28 years of clinical experience and works in the United Kingdom with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Wendy uses a blend of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. She uses practical steps alongside discussions about feelings and relationships.
Her background includes long experience working with domestic violence, sexual assault and coercive control. She has worked with neurodiverse clients and with people facing complex needs such as co-morbidity and chronic illness. She also supports those worrying about body image, addiction and relationship challenges.
Wendy aims to help people clarify what they want to change and take small, manageable steps towards that. Conversations often include looking at thoughts and behaviours, and trying new ways of relating to difficult feelings. Practical strategies may be offered alongside longer conversations about attachment and relationship dynamics.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. Confirm session formats before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling fits
Wendy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck and commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns for issues like anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss different methods and agree together which to try first. The choice is based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may change as sessions progress.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also help when quieter surroundings are easier to arrange or when being on camera is not wanted. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well at a distance.
