About Wendy
Wendy Mayfield is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, parenting strain, low self esteem, depression and adjustments to life changes.
Wendy takes a practical, conversational approach in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive tools and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings clearer and more manageable.
People meet her to talk through what triggers strong reactions, including anger and frustration. She helps clarify how past experiences shape present responses. Work may include looking at how relationships influence feelings and behaviour.
Sessions also explore self-talk and thinking patterns that keep problems going. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts. Narrative methods help separate a person from the problem so choices feel less automatic.
Wendy supports clients over time to build steadier coping and more reliable emotional understanding. She encourages small, realistic steps that fit everyday life. The focus is on clearer self-awareness and practical strategies rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Wendy uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and reactions. This approach helps when anger or strong responses stem from earlier connections and trust patterns.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on careful listening and reflecting what a person says so they can make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to test and change thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, such as spotting automatic thoughts and trying alternative responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.
If you intend to meet online, check the current session formats before booking. The biography indicates she offers online counselling but does not list exact session types here, so confirm what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still using the same practical tools and listening-based work as face-to-face therapy.
