Wendy Mayfield

Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with anger. She focuses on helping clients make sense of what they are feeling and build confidence and resilience. Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom. Wendy uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns, client-centred listening to follow what matters to the individual, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and coping strategies. These methods are used alongside mindfulness and attention to emotions. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. In sessions she listens for the story behind the upset, gently challenges thinking that gets in the way, and supports practical steps people can try between meetings. The focus is on clear, manageable changes rather than jargon or lengthy theory. Wendy has around 20 years’ experience and is listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is recorded exactly as supplied. She offers sessions both online and in person. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and times. Appointments are scheduled during weekday hours and some evening slots are available.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Wendy commonly uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and close connections. This work can help people understand why they respond strongly in relationships and find different ways to relate. She also draws on client-centred counselling, which prioritises listening and the client’s own goals. That approach gives space for people to tell their story and decide what change would feel right for them. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and small behaviour changes that can reduce stress and anger. These techniques can be useful for everyday coping and for managing mood or anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs and preferences. She aims for a collaborative way of planning sessions and reviewing progress together. If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. The biography indicates she offers online sessions, but it does not detail specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
