Wendy Mayfield, BACP

Wendy Mayfield offers a warm, empathetic approach that blends several therapeutic methods with mindfulness and emotional awareness to support clients holistically. She works to help people build confidence and resilience while gaining clearer self-understanding, with the goal of making lasting, meaningful change. As a BACP-registered practitioner, she is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and therapists in the United Kingdom.

Wendy provides counselling both online and face to face for a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, attachment issues, trauma, grief, anger, and many other life challenges. Her practice emphasizes a calm, supportive environment where clients can explore what is happening for them and find manageable, authentic ways forward. She describes herself as warm, caring, ethical, respectful, and non-judgmental in her work.

Whether someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needs someone to talk to, Wendy collaborates with each person to understand their situation and to develop practical strategies and insight. She maintains scheduled availability across weekdays and some evenings to accommodate differing needs, including online options for those who prefer remote sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Wendy Mayfield draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and understanding patterns that repeat in adult life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own experience, with the therapist offering empathy, acceptance, and support to foster self-awareness and personal growth - this approach is useful for building confidence, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Wendy works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts tools and techniques as therapy progresses, ensuring the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family, or travel. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care for those living far from in-person services, and enable people to engage in therapy from a setting that feels comfortable for them.
