Wendy Mayfield offers a calm, straightforward way of working for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She focuses on helping people build confidence, manage strong emotions, and better understand themselves. Wendy keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth so parents can follow along even when time is short.

She draws on a mix of approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions usually begin by identifying immediate concerns and simple steps that feel manageable.

Background and approach

Wendy uses reflective conversation and gentle challenge to help someone spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Wendy has twenty years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, intimacy issues and difficulties around eating and body image.

Other areas she addresses include anger, self-esteem, ADHD and attachment-related worries. She works online and face to face in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions can suit people needing short-term practical help or those wanting longer exploration of life patterns.

Wendy aims to be warm, respectful and non-judgemental in every session. Her style balances listening with practical tools. Expect conversations that make sense and clear suggestions to try between sessions.

The goal is clearer thinking, steadier feelings and better day-to-day coping.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help someone recognise attachment patterns, rebuild emotional connection to themselves, and improve how they relate to others.

Client-centred therapy centres on being heard without judgement. In conversation the counsellor mirrors what is said, helping the person feel understood and find their own solutions; this approach suits people wanting a compassionate space to think things through.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can introduce simple exercises and experiments to try between appointments, which helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts her way of working as progress is made and as priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections or busy days when a full session is hard to schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy fit around family life, work and other commitments.
