Wendy Mayfield, BACP

Wendy Mayfield brings a compassionate, client-focused approach to counselling, blending a range of therapeutic methods with mindfulness and emotional awareness to support each person as a whole. With an emphasis on empathy and insight, she helps clients build confidence and resilience while gaining clearer self-understanding that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

She works with people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, attachment concerns, trauma and related issues, offering a calm and supportive atmosphere in both online and face-to-face settings. Whether someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needs someone to listen, Wendy collaborates with them to explore what is happening and identify manageable, authentic steps forward.

Wendy describes her therapeutic stance as warm, caring and non-judgmental, and she aims to practise ethically and respectfully with all clients. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings two decades of experience to her work. She also holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates engagement with recognised professional standards.

Her working hours are Monday to Thursday 9:00-16:00 (BST), Friday 9:00-12:00, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings 19:30-21:30 with two slots per evening.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Choices

Wendy commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and feelings of abandonment by exploring relational needs and responses. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support that helps people build self-awareness and confidence to make their own changes. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful given their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options make access simpler for people in different locations and for those balancing busy schedules, while still enabling meaningful, goal-focused therapeutic work with registered professionals and therapists.
