About Wendy
Wendy Joseph is a counsellor who uses relationship-focused approaches such as the Gottman Method alongside attachment and mindfulness-informed work. She brings 16 years of counselling experience and a background in mental health nursing to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain and life changes.
Background and approach
Wendy speaks English and practises from the United Kingdom. Her sessions are relaxed and flexible, but she follows the lead of the person she's working with.
Practical programmes are available for emotional regulation, ADHD coaching, addiction, self-compassion and relationship repair. She also uses validated self-report assessments to track progress when helpful.
Before counselling she worked for many years as a registered mental health nurse and later completed an MSc in Public Health with a focus on behaviour change. Wendy has contributed to health research on autism, domestic violence and dementia risk prediction and is preparing for doctoral study.
Her approach is informed by attachment theory, mindfulness practice and client-centred values. She also integrates somatic ideas about stress and trauma, and draws on positive psychology and solution-focused techniques to build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Wendy offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. She aims to work collaboratively to set goals, try practical tools between sessions and adapt the pace to each person’s needs.
How relationship and attachment work online
Wendy combines the Gottman Method with attachment-based and client-centred approaches to support people who are struggling with relationship strain, trust issues or emotional disconnection. The Gottman-informed work focuses on everyday communication patterns, rebuilding connection and learning practical exercises that couples or individuals can practise between sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early patterns shape current ways of relating and helps people develop more supported ways of managing emotions and closeness. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and encourages exploration at a comfortable pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then tailor techniques and pacing to fit each person. This may mean blending methods over time so practical skills and deeper emotional work happen together.
Online formats offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or daily life and to continue progress without travel.
