About Wendy

Wendy Mason is a counsellor with many years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and other life changes. She works in English and brings a calm, practical style to sessions.

Wendy draws on a range of approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people live by their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns.

Her background includes work with trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault and coercive control, and she has long experience supporting people with neurodiversity. Wendy also has experience with addiction, eating issues, chronic health challenges and parenting stresses. She describes clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to build on existing strengths.

Wendy holds NCPS and has around 28 years of experience in practice. She explains therapy in straightforward language and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Parents reading on a phone will find short, clear suggestions and a steady, respectful approach.

To start, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist's availability and the site's process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Wendy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises and short experiments that can be done between meetings. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats choosing methods as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try options that feel like a good match, adjusting over time if needed.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Wendy currently offers before you book. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, make it easier to have a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. Online work can support practical exercises, thought-monitoring and relationship conversations just as face-to-face sessions do, and Wendy will adapt techniques so they work well in the format you choose.
