Wendy Trickett, NCPS

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the North of England with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and the strains that come with parenting, caregiving and life transitions. Wendy emphasises a respectful, person-focused way of working and aims to support people who want more balance and calm in their lives.

Wendy uses an approach that centres the person's own knowledge of their life. She believes people bring strengths and skills that can help them move through hard times, even when those strengths are hard to see. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, while encouraging small steps that make a difference.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy-related issues and anger. Wendy also lists additional focus on ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family and attachment matters. She treats practical problems like communication and control issues alongside emotional concerns such as guilt, shame and emptiness.

Wendy draws on several approaches to tailor each session. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, narrative techniques, mindfulness and a client-centred stance. She works collaboratively to choose methods that suit each person’s goals and situation.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Wendy is registered with NCPS and practices from the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Wendy commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and supports choosing actions that match what matters most to them. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the client’s own insights guide change.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods feel most helpful. That means approaches can be adjusted as progress and needs change over time.

The source biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities and travel, and it can suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who need less time away from home. Many people find it simpler to maintain regular sessions and practise new skills in everyday settings when working remotely.
