Wendy MayfieldBACP

Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family concerns. She uses straightforward, empathetic conversations to help clients feel heard and begin to make small, practical changes. Wendy aims to help people build confidence and clearer self-understanding so they can cope better with life’s pressures.

She draws on a mix of well-known therapeutic styles rather than a single method. That means sessions may include exploring how early relationships shape current patterns, looking at thoughts and behaviours that fuel stress, and listening to the stories people tell about their lives. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Wendy has two decades of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background supports work with trauma, attachment issues, intimacy struggles, parenting stresses and grief, among other concerns. She describes herself as warm, caring and non-judgemental.

The approach includes practical steps such as noticing thought patterns, developing emotional awareness, and trying small behavioural changes between sessions. Sessions aim to be manageable and relevant to day-to-day life, not overwhelming or overly technical.

Sessions are offered in English and Wendy works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Prospective clients are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Wendy often uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust; this can help when intimacy, abandonment or communication issues feel stuck. Client-Centred work means she offers empathic listening and follows the client’s pace, helping people feel understood and supported while they decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy aims to find a method that fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt the way she works so the plan feels collaborative and realistic rather than fixed.

The original biography notes that Wendy offers online and face-to-face sessions, so please confirm the exact online formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow continued contact for people who live farther away or who need flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, use these options to support continuity and accessibility while focusing on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
