About Wendy
Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strains or life changes. She works to build confidence and resilience so clients can better understand themselves and make practical changes. Wendy uses a warm, non-judgemental style and focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.
Wendy combines listening with a range of therapeutic methods to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thinking and coping skills. Narrative and client-centred work support people to make sense of difficult experiences and find their own solutions.
She offers both online and face-to-face sessions for concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and family dynamics. Wendy aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them and experiment with new ways of relating and coping.
Over 20 years she has worked with a wide range of issues including anger, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image, parenting pressures, ADHD and attachment wounds. Her practice also pays attention to problems like codependency, communication difficulties and caregiver stress.
Wendy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She schedules weekday daytime hours and some evening slots to fit different routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps unpack how early experiences shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice triggers, improve emotional connection and work on safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and helping people make their own sense of difficulties. In an online setting this often means longer moments of reflection, gentle questioning and focusing on what the person finds most meaningful. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Through online sessions a counsellor can help identify unhelpful thinking, try out behavioural changes and set small homework tasks to practise between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for people to join from wherever they are based. Because session formats are listed in the original biography as online and face to face, confirm the specific online options available before booking so the arrangement matches everyday life and routine.Areas of focus
