Wendy Mayfield , BACP

Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who focuses on women’s issues and common life struggles. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. Wendy aims to help clients build confidence, cope with change, and gain clearer self-understanding in straightforward, practical ways.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are calm and supportive. She listens first, then helps people identify small, manageable steps to feel steadier and more in control.

Wendy draws on Client-Centred work, Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her sessions. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of difficult experiences and shift unhelpful patterns.

With 20 years of experience and BACP registration, Wendy offers both online and face-to-face counselling from the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, family dynamics, parenting strain, body image and eating concerns, ADHD, anger, dissociation and many related issues.

Therapy sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and practical coping skills. Wendy combines reflective conversation with specific strategies tailored to each person. She encourages resilience and clearer decision making so clients can take meaningful next steps.

Appointments are scheduled around set working hours, including some evening slots on weekdays. Online options are available for people who prefer video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based work focuses on emotional bonds and patterns from close relationships. Online sessions use this to help people spot how past connections shape current reactions and to try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Client-Centred counselling places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens with empathy and helps people find their own solutions. This suits worries about confidence, life changes and making values-based choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In remote sessions this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviours between meetings, and planning small experiments to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss the methods above and others, and together with the client choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration can change over time as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, written reflection and people who prefer non-verbal options. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
