About Wyon
Wyon Stansfeld is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has worked for 32 years in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions and issues around life purpose and change. His work also covers parenting, grief, eating difficulties, anger and work-related stress.
He describes his style as listening with care and patience, and using mindfulness alongside genuine, straightforward conversation. He follows an integrative method and draws on counselling, psychotherapy and meditation practices to shape sessions. Wyon emphasises collaboration rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
In practical terms he focuses on helping people notice and use their own resources. Sessions often include techniques shown to support self-acceptance and reduce distress, alongside reflective discussion about relationships, patterns and decisions. He can offer respectful challenge when that will help someone move forward.
Wyon pays attention to attachment and codependency patterns, communication problems, and family of origin issues. He also works with dissociation, domestic violence histories, immigration-related stress and fatherhood questions. These topics are explored in straightforward, step-by-step ways so people can test changes between sessions.
People who come when feeling stuck after a job, relationship or health change will find practical help with coping, clearer priorities and steadier day-to-day management. His long experience includes supporting those with bipolar, ADHD, compassion fatigue and related mood difficulties.
How his approaches translate to online work
Wyon draws on integrative therapeutic techniques that include mindfulness-based practices and person-centred counselling elements. Mindfulness approaches teach attention to breath, body sensations and moment-to-moment experience; these techniques can help with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions. Person-centred elements focus on open, non-directive listening and genuine relating to explore values, relationships and life purpose. He also uses practical psychotherapeutic tools to identify repetitive patterns like attachment difficulties, communication problems and codependency. These tools typically involve noticing recurring behaviours, testing small changes between sessions and reflecting on what shifts and what does not. Deciding which mix of methods to use is collaborative and shaped by the client’s needs and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review what helps and adapt methods as progress is made. This shared decision-making aims to match techniques to the person’s priorities rather than rely on one fixed method. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a quieter place or who need sessions that fit around work or family commitments.Areas of expertise
