About Amy

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, straightforward way of working. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style to help people talk through anxiety, stress and other difficult feelings. Amy has five years of experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She believes people are the experts in their own lives. Sessions aim to follow the client’s pace and priorities rather than imposing directions.

Background and approach

Amy listens carefully and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of feeling more capable and clear. Alongside anxiety and stress, Amy supports people facing low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. She also works with concerns such as grief, separation and communication problems.

Practical issues like body image, coping after illness, and problems related to commitment or codependency are part of her practice too. Amy blends person-centred work with other approaches when useful. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.

Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Amy aims to help people feel heard, find clarity and make changes that fit their life.

She offers appointments across different formats to suit how people prefer to connect.

How Amy uses talking therapies online

Amy combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to help people make practical changes. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offer ways to test and change them. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings in the present moment without getting swept away by them.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to identify goals, try different approaches and agree what feels most useful. That way the work adapts to real needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video calls are useful for more conversational sessions, phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth, while live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or slower-paced reflection. These options mean people can keep therapy going around work, family or mobility needs and try different formats to find what works best.
