Wyon Stansfeld , BACP

Wyon Stansfeld is a seasoned counsellor who offers calm, attentive support to people facing difficult life challenges. He works with a wide spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, depression, life crises, addictions, low self-esteem, abuse and disempowerment, as well as suppressed emotions, anger management, bereavement, trauma, illness and a loss of meaning in life.

His practice is rooted in kindly, non-judgemental listening, mindfulness and authentic relating, and he rejects one-size-fits-all fixes in favour of approaches tailored to each person. Drawing on his training, personal experience and clinical work, he uses a range of techniques shown to promote greater self-acceptance and more fulfilling living. He follows an integrative model that combines elements from counselling, psychotherapy and meditation practices to create flexible interventions that meet individual needs.

Working with him is intended to be an open, interactive exploration in which the client’s experience remains central. He is prepared, when appropriate, to offer a considered opinion or a respectful challenge rather than simply remaining neutral. He values honest disclosure of difficult material and aims to help people access their inner resources to find relief and more authentic living. He holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Wyon Stansfeld uses mindfulness-based techniques to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce the intensity of overwhelming thoughts and feelings - an approach that can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress and difficulties managing emotions. He also works in an integrative counselling and psychotherapy style, drawing on practices from different therapeutic traditions to tailor interventions to each person’s needs - this flexibility supports work on depression, trauma, relationship problems and self-esteem. Where attachment and relational patterns are central, his work explores how early relationships shape current connections and communication, helping clients address codependency, commitment issues and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences and the techniques that fit best, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow for a variety of communication styles, and enable ongoing contact that can support steady progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
