About Wendy

Wendy Mayfield is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. She works with people who are dealing with grief, trauma, parenting pressures, body image concerns and problems like low self-esteem or ADHD. Wendy aims to make sessions calm and easy to follow so clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She blends Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural ideas with narrative thinking and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, identifying practical steps and building emotional awareness.

Wendy offers both online and face-to-face counselling from the United Kingdom. She uses her twenty years of experience to help people build resilience and greater self-understanding. Her hours include daytime and some evening slots to suit different schedules.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps the person map out what they want to change. Work might include looking at past relationships, exploring how current habits affect mood, or trying simple exercises to manage anxiety and anger. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the available times.

How Wendy uses approaches online and in person

Wendy commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside a client-centred attitude. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and helps people make sense of patterns that affect trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She listens to what is most important, tries different techniques and adapts the plan as progress is made.

If you want online or face-to-face counselling, double-check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family and work commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Talk to her when you book about the times that suit you and how you prefer to structure sessions.
