About Wendy
Wendy Mayfield is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as parenting, eating concerns and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Wendy uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centred listening so people can talk things through at their own pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
In practice she focuses on clarity and practical steps. Conversations aim to increase emotional awareness and reduce overwhelm. That can mean spotting triggers for anger, finding different ways to respond, or building routines that support better mood and energy.
Wendy also uses narrative methods to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when clients want support making changes they actually plan to keep. Together these approaches create space to test small alternatives and notice what helps.
She offers both online and face-to-face sessions. Her stated hours include daytime and some evening slots. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How Wendy uses different approaches in online work
Wendy commonly combines attachment-based work with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships influence current reactions and helps people spot repeating patterns that feed anger. Client-centred listening gives space for someone to describe what is happening and to feel heard without pressure. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person and their situation. That means the first few sessions are often about clarifying triggers, what the person wants to change, and which techniques feel most useful.
The biography indicates she offers online counselling but does not list specific formats. Please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy sustainable while they experiment with different ways of responding to anger.
