Wendy Mayfield, BACP

Wendy Mayfield provides calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or change. She helps clients struggling with relationships, family tensions, eating concerns, self‑esteem or the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. Wendy aims to help people feel clearer about themselves and better able to cope day to day.

She draws on two decades of experience to offer steady, compassionate counselling. Wendy uses a mix of approaches that focus on how people form connections, the stories they tell about themselves, and practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions are straightforward and rooted in what each person needs in the moment.

Wendy works online and accepts international clients. Sessions can include video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging, chosen to fit the person’s routine and preference. The structure of sessions is discussed together so people know what to expect.

In conversation she adopts a warm, non‑judgemental stance and prioritises respect and ethical practice. People are invited to talk at their pace while they build confidence and emotional awareness. The aim is realistic change that fits everyday life.

Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted here as the credential she holds. She brings 20 years of practice to each conversation and adapts methods to suit the person’s goals.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions to suit availability. Wendy works to make therapy practical, manageable and focused on the next steps people want to take.

How Wendy’s approaches work online

Wendy commonly uses attachment‑based work to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions, especially in close relationships and family dynamics. This helps people understand patterns and build healthier ways of connecting.

She also uses client‑centred practice, which means sessions follow what the person brings and aim to provide listening that helps someone feel heard and clearer about their choices. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes that can ease anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy discusses options with each person and decides together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as different issues surface.

Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video calls are useful for a fuller face‑to‑face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check‑ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for appointments around work, caregiving or travel.
