Wyon Stansfeld

Wyon Stansfeld is a counsellor with 32 years of experience supporting people through strong emotions and life change. He works with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, relationships and grief. He offers calm, attentive listening and practical ways to manage difficult feelings.

Wyon uses an integrative style that blends counselling, psychotherapy and meditation practices. He aims to be flexible and to adapt what he offers to each person. Sessions involve open conversation, gentle challenge when helpful, and techniques chosen together rather than a fixed formula.

He places emphasis on mindfulness and authentic relating. That means noticing thoughts and feelings in the moment and learning how to respond differently to them. The work often focuses on building self-acceptance and finding practical steps to reduce suffering.

Wyon also draws on techniques with a research base to support change. He does not promise quick fixes, but helps people explore what works for them. His manner is kind and non-judgemental, while remaining direct when an honest challenge will help progress.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, career stress, and issues linked to attachment or codependency. He supports those facing life transitions, loss of meaning, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.

Sessions are shaped collaboratively so that individuals find approaches suited to their needs. Wyon values helping people access their own inner resources and develop practical ways to cope and move forward.

How integrative approaches translate to online therapy

The counsellor uses an integrative approach that draws on counselling, psychotherapy and meditation practices. Counselling here means talking through current struggles and finding practical ways to cope. Psychotherapy elements look at patterns from the past that affect how people relate now, helping to shift unhelpful responses.

Mindfulness and meditation practices are offered as techniques to build awareness of thoughts and feelings and to reduce reactivity. These practices can help with anger, anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by teaching simple attention and breathing skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of conversation, practical techniques and mindfulness exercises is most helpful for their goals and circumstances.

It also offers flexibility for people living abroad, while the therapist can adapt exercises and practices so they work well in a remote setting.
