About Wendy
Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She works with individuals who are struggling with relationship issues, family tensions, trauma, grief, or problems around self‑esteem and intimacy. Her aim is to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start feeling more in control.
Wendy draws on Systemic ideas alongside attachment and client‑centred ways of working. She combines gentle questioning, reflective listening and practical tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and everyday routines. The work often looks at how past experiences shape current reactions. Her style is warm and non‑judgemental.
Wendy encourages people to talk at their own pace and brings curiosity rather than quick fixes. She helps clients build confidence and practical coping strategies for day‑to‑day life. Wendy has 20 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That background informs her steady and experienced approach to common and complex difficulties. Therapy is offered online and face to face. Sessions can address specific issues like eating concerns, anger, ADHD or attachment difficulties, and can also support longer term personal change.
Wendy works collaboratively to set goals and review progress as therapy continues.

Online support
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Wendy commonly uses Systemic Therapy to look at the patterns between people and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviour. This helps when relationship dynamics, family roles or recurring conflicts are part of the problem. Attachment‑based work focuses on how early bonds influence present relationships and emotional responses, which is useful for intimacy, trust and separation concerns.Client‑centred therapy means the session is shaped around the person’s experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. Wendy will work with clients to decide which combination of approaches feels most helpful, making changes as needs and goals evolve in a collaborative way.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while keeping therapy consistent over time.
