Wendy Trickett, NCPS

Wendy Trickett is a counsellor based in the North of England with nine years of professional experience. She holds NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential. Wendy focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, self-esteem and the practical strains of everyday life.

Wendy works from a person-centred perspective. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and already hold many strengths. In sessions she listens, reflects back what she hears and helps people notice skills they may not have recognised.

She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thinking and painful emotions. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used to help people notice patterns and create more helpful stories about themselves.

Wendy has supported people through grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, sexual intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues related to ageing, blended families, caregiving stress, divorce and infidelity among other concerns.

Her style is warm and grounded. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on practical next steps. People who want a collaborative, respectful counsellor who will help them build on what already works often find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people move towards what matters to them by noticing thoughts and making values-based choices. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and getting unstuck from unhelpful avoidance.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps identify and change patterns of thinking that feed low mood or anxiety. CBT is often useful for practical symptom relief and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed over time.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around busy days, reduce travel time and make it easier to check in during a short break. Online sessions can also allow different ways of working such as quieter audio check-ins or video conversations when useful, and the therapist can recommend what may suit your needs.
