Wendy Mayfield, BACP

Wendy uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeated problems in relationships or feel stuck by old ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy is another core influence - it focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person find their own answers. That approach is useful for people who need a steady, empathetic space to talk through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and small experiments. It suits people aiming to reduce anxiety, manage low mood or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions together. That collaborative planning means the methods can change as needs do, so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy lets people connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives more flexibility around work and family life. Video is good for a conversation that feels like being in the same room, phone fits when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
