About Wayne
Wayne Agbomson works on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and self-esteem issues using an integrative, person-centred style that draws on several therapy approaches. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns.
He works collaboratively and treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions look at what is causing current difficulties and what may help reduce their impact. Wayne includes everyday activities a client values, such as walking or creative hobbies, as part of the work when these are helpful.
Wayne uses elements of attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking. Motivation-focused conversations are used where people want to change behaviours, such as addictive patterns.
He has supported a diverse range of people across different levels of need. His caseload has included people presenting with trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger and compulsive behaviours. Multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination are listed among his focus areas.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Wayne aims to identify small, manageable steps people can try between meetings. He encourages clients to bring activities they find useful into the work and to reflect on what helps them feel steadier.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Wayne uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships influence current patterns of relating and self-worth; this helps when people notice repeated difficulties in relationships or intimacy. He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in thinking and routine to reduce distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a pragmatic way forward that can be reviewed over time. This collaborative planning means the method can shift if something is not helping.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and keeping regular meetings without long travel. Remote work can also make shorter check-ins easier and allow people to use less camera time if that suits them. The exact session formats available are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking to find what will fit into everyday life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
