Dr Wendy Turton

BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (since 2008)

BPS Consultant Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow

Hello, I’m Dr Wendy Turton. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.

I’ve worked in psychological therapy for over 20 years – previously in the NHS and leading regional CBT clinical training, and now in private practice. I bring a wealth of clinical experience to my work and remain committed to staying current with the most effective approaches in psychological therapy.

Life can be challenging, and any of us can feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to begin making sense of those difficulties with support and compassion. My approach is collaborative, aiming to create a safe, trusting space where we can reflect, understand, and work toward meaningful change together.

I work with people experiencing low mood, anxiety, self-defeating patterns, relationship difficulties, and trauma – particularly when past experiences continue to affect the present. I also offer specialist psychological therapy for those living with Bipolar Disorder, psychosis, or voice-hearing, helping you understand and navigate these experiences more confidently.

In our sessions, we’ll talk, reflect, and agree on a therapeutic approach that suits your needs and is grounded in evidence. We’ll check in on progress and set helpful tasks between sessions to support your goals. Therapy is an active process, and I’ll be here to guide and support you throughout.

Please note that online therapy is not suitable if you’re currently in crisis or in need of risk management support – in such cases, your GP or local services will be best placed to help.

Thank you again for your interest. If what I’ve shared resonates with you, I’d be very happy to work together.

childhood, emotional dysregulation, mood dysregulation, negative self-perceptions (inc. shame, high self-criticism, etc.), emotionally unstable personality disorder, bipolar disorder, recovery in psychosis, self-defeating behaviors, and relational challenges.

Feedback from Wendy’s clients

Reclaiming Life with Compassion and Clarity

“Wendy in essence has helped me reclaim my life! Wendy is a gentle skilled and professional therapist who has enabled me in collaboration to gain more awareness and control of my bipolar condition while guiding me towards a better more whole life. Among the many technique’s she used was a framework of thinking which put my difficult thoughts into context and provided a springboard for more positive choices and changes. All this has given me a better quality in my relationship with myself, my husband, family and friends, my initial goal at the start of therapy. Thanks Wendy, I couldn’t have done it without you!” Yvonne

Personalised, Empowering Support

“Wendy has been incredible to work with. She has been very sympathetic to my needs and tailored every session accordingly. Wendy offered as little or as much guidance as I wanted and was always very good at checking where I was at and how I was feeling before starting a session.

Wendy has given me invaluable tools to use to change my life moving forward in a way that no other professionals I have previously seen for mental health issues have been able to. I now feel confident that I have a better understanding of myself and Wendy has helped me to realise that there is always a choice in how I cope with certain situations.

Above all Wendy has taught me self-care and self compassion that I am embracing in a way completely new to me and crucial to achieve a much more stable experience of the world moving forward. I will always be incredibly grateful for the way Wendy has helped me to change my life for the better.” Vanessa

Deep Healing and Being Truly Understood

“Wendy has been the best therapist I've had so far. I've been in therapy before due to traumas and how it has been impacting my current life today and only after working with Wendy I feel I had a breakthrough and experienced some deep healing.

Its difficult to put in words as it affected me on different levels. I felt truly seen, heard and understood during the sessions , also I could feel genuine empathy and understanding, also lots of patience.

At the end of each session Wendy would come with the solution or what to practice during the week till the next session. I also liked her explanations and analysis of my feelings, and it worked for me very well.

During the course of therapy I started not just to see my situation and relationships in my life more clearly , I also started to feel much stronger in my life. Before I started the sessions with Wendy I used to go into deep depression and very low mood, my only solution was to dissociate from situations in life, now after working with Wendy I feel strong enough to deal with challenges and situations.

It was healing for me on many different levels and I can honestly say that sessions with Wendy impacted my life immensely for the better and I will be forever grateful for that. I would recommend Wendy 100% for anybody . Her therapist skills, ability to attune, to understand, perceive and transform are excellent and she has been a real support in my life for all this time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Georgia
