About Wendy
Wendy Mayfield offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting pressures, trauma and issues with self‑esteem. Her first aim is to help people feel heard and better understand what matters to them.
She uses clear, practical steps so change feels manageable and real. Wendy draws on twenty years of experience and practises with a person‑centred emphasis. That means sessions start by listening to what the client brings and then shaping the work around their priorities.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Attachment‑Based approaches to look at how early relationship experiences affect current bonds. Her style is warm, non‑judgemental and straightforward. Wendy helps people build confidence, recognise patterns, and try new ways of coping.
Conversations can include exploring life stories, noticing emotional responses, and practising small changes between sessions. Sessions are offered online and by phone, using formats that suit different lifestyles. She works with topics from grief and anger to intimacy, ADHD and body image, and can focus on specific concerns such as abandonment, codependency and blended family issues.
Wendy is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She accepts international clients and runs a mixture of daytime and evening appointments to fit different routines.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with the client about what they want to change, try out methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find practical steps that feel doable and meaningful for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check‑ins, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping the focus on steady progress and real‑world changes.
