About Wendi
Wendi Furnell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns and coping with major life changes. Wendi works with other issues such as addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and intimacy-related worries.
Wendi uses straightforward, evidence-informed techniques and adapts conversations to each person. She aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate while helping people identify practical next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the person who comes to therapy. With four years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, she draws on that background to shape collaborative plans. Wendi invites people to set clear goals and to review progress as they go.
The pace and content change to match each person’s needs. Her approach is flexible rather than rigid. That means practical coping strategies, emotional support and problem-solving in the same place.
Wendi will tailor sessions so they fit a person’s life and current challenges. People often come for help with parenting stress, work-pressure, or relationship uncertainties. Wendi emphasises small, manageable steps and real-world strategies.
She encourages people to build on what already works while trying new ways to cope. Starting therapy with her involves a simple matching and scheduling process. Wendi aims to make the first steps clear and achievable for someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure about therapy.

Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online sessions
Wendi uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional support. One common method involves developing coping skills and behavioural steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This helps when worries are frequent or disruptive and gives simple, repeatable actions to try.Another approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and testing small changes. That way of working can lift mood and improve confidence by targeting everyday habits and reactions. Both approaches are suited to issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and parenting stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Wendi works collaboratively to understand goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and Wendi review what is working and adjust the plan when needed to find the best fit.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into life. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation helps, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on practical progress.
