About Wendy
Wendy Mayfield offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She builds sessions around what each person needs and helps them find clearer ways to cope. Wendy speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable, not overwhelming, for someone finding their way through a hard time.
She draws on twenty years of experience and uses several therapeutic styles to shape sessions. That might mean focusing on current thoughts and behaviours, looking at how early relationships still influence feelings, or listening to the story someone tells about their life.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and paced to suit the person in front of her. Wendy works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anger, intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting stress, body image and eating issues, ADHD and major life changes.
Sessions aim to build small, steady steps towards greater confidence and resilience. Her training is recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers both online and face-to-face sessions from a UK base, and she accepts international clients for online work.
Sessions are offered in English. Initial meetings focus on understanding the immediate problem and agreeing practical next steps. People are encouraged to set realistic goals and to check in about how the work feels as it progresses.
Wendy prefers an ethical, non-judgemental approach that centres the person’s own priorities.

How Wendy’s approaches work online
Wendy uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This can be useful for those struggling with intimacy, trust or repeated relationship patterns.She also uses client-centred counselling which means sessions follow the person’s lead, with the therapist offering careful listening and reflection. That approach helps people who want to speak freely and develop their own understanding at their own pace.
Wendy draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques when it helps to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful behavioural routines. These are practical tools for anxiety, low mood and coping with day-to-day stressors.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Wendy will talk through options, try different ways of working and check in regularly about what is helping. The aim is to tailor the work to the client's goals and preferences rather than follow a fixed plan.
Online therapy with Wendy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is often best for a fuller conversational session, phone calls can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or work makes in-person appointments difficult.
