Wendy Mason is a counsellor with nearly three decades of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties.

Wendy approaches therapy with the view that clients are the experts in their own lives. She draws on practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and experiment with small changes. Her work also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Her background includes long experience with trauma, including domestic violence and sexual assault, and with coercive control. Wendy has worked across a wide range of presenting needs such as parenting strain, blended family issues, neurodiversity including autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and body image concerns. Wendy holds NCPS as a listed credential. She has practised in the UK for many years and speaks English. In sessions she aims to make conversations straightforward and grounded. People can expect a mix of listening, practical strategies and reflection on relationship patterns to help move forwards at a pace that suits them.

How therapy approaches translate to online practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and behaviour. It helps people understand repeating patterns and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers non-judgemental listening and reflection, helping clients find their own direction and solutions. Finding the right approach is usually a process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That can mean mixing practical CBT-style exercises with ACT, or using attachment ideas to guide conversations about relationships. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who prefer working from a familiar setting or who need a quieter arrangement without being on camera for the whole session.
