About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth approach. She focuses on anxiety alongside stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse. Her style is calm and respectful, and she aims to help people feel heard and understood in short, clear conversations.
She believes the client is the expert in their own life and works alongside them rather than directing them. Sessions move at a person’s own pace and concentrate on uncovering what feels stuck. The work often focuses on reconnecting with inner strength and finding clarity for next steps.
Amy brings five years of experience to her practice and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her professional approach. She draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and build new responses to stress and anxiety.
In session she may use motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people set manageable goals and discover what works in daily life. These approaches are offered in a conversational way, so practical steps are built from each person’s priorities.
Amy also supports people dealing with life transitions and disruption, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Amy’s approaches translate to online sessions
Amy combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques to support practical change. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thinking and try small changes to see what shifts in daily life. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build present-moment awareness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively to agree what feels helpful, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses. She adapts techniques to match how someone wants to work and what fits into their day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue therapy after displacement or disruption, which may be useful for those coping with disaster-related impacts. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace and techniques to practical constraints, helping clients build steps they can use outside sessions.
