Wendy Mason, NCPS

Wendy Mason is a counsellor with 28 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and life changes. She works with concerns like grief, depression, addictions and self-esteem. Wendy also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, parenting pressures and issues around sexuality, including LGBT concerns. She lists jealousy among her focus areas and can address problems connected to attachment and abandonment.

Wendy uses practical talking and reflective listening to help people untangle what matters most to them. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to shape sessions around each person. That usually means noticing what gets in the way, trying small changes, and finding clearer ways to communicate.

Her background includes long experience in work with trauma and abuse, and with people coping with chronic illness and caregiving stress. She aims to offer a calm, steady presence while helping people build tools they can use outside of sessions. Wendy values each person’s own knowledge of their situation and helps them make choices that fit their life.

Conversations are practical and paced to the individual. Wendy encourages small experiments between sessions, clearer boundaries in difficult relationships, and steps to manage overwhelming feelings. She invites people to explore patterns like control issues, codependency or attachment difficulties in ways that feel manageable.

Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work

Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small committed steps that move life in a chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try practical alternatives. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions in relationships and practise new ways of connecting.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter times and spaces for conversation or avoid being on camera when they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, behavioural tasks and communication practice to work well across different session arrangements.
