Wyon Stansfeld, BACP

Wyon Stansfeld is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 32 years of experience. He works with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and many other life challenges. His practice also addresses codependency, attachment issues and difficulties around intimacy and communication.

Wyon listens without judgement and uses mindfulness alongside talking therapies. He describes his work as integrative - drawing on counselling, psychotherapy and meditation practices. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, find clearer choices, and rebuild a sense of self after stressful relationships or crises.

He prefers an open, interactive approach. That means conversations are two-way, and he will sometimes offer observations or a respectful challenge when it helps move things forward. He does not use one fixed formula but introduces techniques that have helped others with similar problems.

Practical work can include learning ways to manage stress and anxiety, handling anger or grief, and making changes in problematic relationship patterns such as codependency and difficulty setting boundaries. He also supports people dealing with addiction, parenting pressures, career strain, and loss of meaning.

Wyon emphasises self-acceptance and accessing inner resources. The focus is on what the client wants to change and on small, manageable steps toward better day-to-day coping. He works in clear, plain language and keeps sessions focused on what is useful next.
