About Wyon

Wyon Stansfeld is a counsellor with 32 years of practice supporting people through difficult life moments. He works with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions and parenting concerns. He brings a calm, steady presence and listens without judgement to help people find practical ways forward.

His way of working is rooted in kind, sensitive listening and authentic relating. He uses mindfulness and an integrative approach that draws on counselling, psychotherapy, and meditation practices.

Background and approach

He does not follow rigid formulas but selects techniques that fit each person's situation. Sessions are collaborative and interactive. Wyon aims to help clients access their own inner resources while offering gentle challenges or observations when useful.

The focus is on self-acceptance, reducing avoidable suffering, and finding clearer direction in day-to-day life. He has particular experience with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes. Additional areas he addresses include attachment problems, communication difficulties, fatherhood issues and immigration-related stress.

Wyon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He works online via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options for people with different schedules and needs.

Online support

Approaches, collaboration and online access

Wyon draws on an integrative model that combines counselling, psychotherapy and meditation practices. This approach means he can blend calm, reflective listening with practical techniques learnt over many years to help with anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties.

Mindfulness is part of his work and is used to help people notice thoughts and physical reactions without getting overwhelmed. Meditation practices are presented in simple, everyday terms to support stress reduction and clearer thinking.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. He works together with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their goals and preferences. The plan can change over time as needs evolve and progress is reviewed collaboratively.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or who need flexible, asynchronous ways to stay in touch. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel commitments.
