About Amy

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth space for people to talk about what is on their mind. She works with anxiety and related concerns such as stress, low self-esteem and relationship problems. Amy seeks to create an atmosphere where people feel heard and respected from the first session. With five years' experience, Amy uses practical, straightforward methods to help people untangle what is holding them back. She listens without judgement and supports clients to find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on building clarity and resilience. Amy also works with people coping with trauma and abuse, issues around addiction, grief and life transitions. Additional areas she can address include abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems. She aims to help people make sense of their situation and develop manageable steps forward. Her approach draws on client-centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to explore thoughts, notice patterns and try out small changes that can make daily life easier. Based in the United Kingdom, Amy practices in English and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online counselling

Amy blends person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, which can adapt well to online conversations. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and suggests practical ways to test small changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily sensations to reduce overwhelm and build calm. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best suit their goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored, and she will check in regularly to adjust the plan as needs change. The practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session options offered. Please confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care during life transitions and help people practise new skills in the settings where they live and work.
