Wendy Johnson, BACP

Wendy Johnson is a United Kingdom credentialed therapist who brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She supports people navigating the impact of trauma and abuse, works with those coping with grief and loss, and helps clients adjust to significant life changes. Wendy approaches each person with the assumption that they are the expert in their own story and looks for the strengths they already possess to move through difficult times. She combines practical support with empathic listening to help clients identify and build on those strengths.

Wendy holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), reflecting her professional standing in the UK. She recognises that starting therapy requires courage and honours the decision to seek help, offering a calm, respectful environment for exploration and change. Her work focuses on meeting people where they are and collaborating on steps that feel manageable and meaningful for them.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Wendy uses trauma-informed approaches that focus on creating safety, understanding how past experiences affect present responses, and supporting clients to develop coping strategies for symptoms related to trauma and abuse. This approach is practical for people who are trying to regain stability after difficult events.

She also offers grief-focused work that helps people process loss at their own pace, explore the emotions that accompany bereavement, and find ways to adapt to life after loss. In cases of major life transitions, Wendy emphasises skill-building to manage stress, clarify values, and plan for achievable changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Wendy works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows clients to access support from wherever they are located within the United Kingdom. These formats can suit different needs - for example, video for face-to-face conversation, phone for accessibility, and messaging for brief check-ins - and Wendy can help identify which option will work best for each client.
