Wendy Mayfield

Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship worries. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, eating and intimacy-related concerns. People often come to her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Wendy uses a mix of talking approaches to match what each person needs. She focuses on building confidence and resilience while encouraging clearer self-understanding. Sessions emphasise emotional awareness and practical steps people can try between meetings. With 20 years of experience, Wendy draws on Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred ways of relating and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other approaches. She combines insight, mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and make changes that feel authentic. Wendy offers both online and face-to-face counselling from the United Kingdom and works with individuals on a wide range of issues. She aims to create a calm, respectful and non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them. Her practice supports people across life transitions, including coping with loss, managing anger, navigating communication problems, and dealing with ADHD-related challenges. Wendy encourages small, achievable steps that build longer term change and improved day-to-day coping. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's available times. She is registered with BACP, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and respond differently when they feel triggered or uncertain.

Client-Centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting back what you say. This approach supports people who need a calm space to make sense of feelings and discover their own next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes to see what helps. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and everyday coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as you make progress.

If you prefer remote sessions, please confirm the current options before booking as formats are listed in the biography only as online and face-to-face. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins without travel, or offer shorter appointments when that suits a schedule. Many people find it helps them keep continuity of care while juggling everyday life.
