About Wendy
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). 16 years' experience. Wendy Joseph works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationships, family issues, grief and sleep problems among other concerns. She describes a flexible, client-led counselling style and offers structured programmes such as attachment style work, executive functioning, emotional regulation, ADHD coaching and relationship repair.
Wendy trained originally as a UK registered mental health nurse and holds an MSc with distinction in Public Health and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. She has published research on autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction, and is awaiting PhD candidacy. Her background includes work with carer wellbeing, severe and enduring mental health, dementias, intimate partner violence and workplace bullying.
Her practice is informed by trauma and neurodivergence-aware approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods and mindfulness techniques alongside elements from the Gottman Method and existential thinking. Somatic and polyvagal-informed methods are part of her work with trauma and regulation difficulties.
Wendy runs structured short programmes and assessments where helpful, and she can provide validated self-report mental health and wellbeing measures through an external psychology provider. She also recommends evidence-based resources and reading to support progress between sessions.
She undertakes extensive continuing professional development each year and holds advanced integrated clinical supervision accreditation. Her published and clinical experience means she often integrates research findings into practical counselling conversations.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Wendy uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches alongside mindfulness work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps with trust, communication and repair. Client-centred counselling concentrates on the client's experience and priorities, offering time to reflect and make choices. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and work collaboratively to decide which methods to use and when to adapt them during sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only options if being on camera is difficult, or plan sessions that suit a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals typically discuss practical arrangements and session length at the first meeting so that counselling fits into everyday life.
