Wendy Trickett, NCPS

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the North of England with nine years of professional experience. She works in a person-centred way and aims to support people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Wendy's approach is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on helping people find practical steps forward.

Wendy believes people know their own life best. She listens without judgement and helps clients notice strengths they may not see. She encourages small, realistic changes that can ease anxiety, improve relationships and boost confidence.

Her practice covers a wide range of everyday concerns. These include stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and career or life-stage transitions.

Wendy draws on several well-known approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to work with unhelpful thoughts and values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for practical skills and patterns, and Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person's experience. She also includes mindfulness and narrative techniques where helpful.

Sessions aim to be calm and collaborative. Wendy helps people name their priorities and builds steps that fit daily life. To begin, readers can use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It aims to build small actions that align with personal values and can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical techniques to change patterns that keep someone stuck and is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what they hear, creating space for people to make sense of their own story and find inner resources.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Wendy will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their situation, goals and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made, and sessions focus on what helps most in everyday life.
