About Amy

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She focuses on anxiety and related concerns, and she listens with patience and respect. Sessions are led at the client's pace and aim to help people feel heard and understood.

Amy uses practical, straightforward conversations to uncover what might be holding someone back. She supports people through stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also works with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, and common concerns that affect daily functioning. Her style is collaborative rather than directive. Amy believes the person is the expert on their life and she helps them find clarity and build resilience.

She aims to create a space where people can reflect, set small goals and try out new ways of coping. With five years' experience she brings examples and tools from different approaches when they suit the person. These include cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness practices and solution-focused exercises that are easy to use between sessions.

Amy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she provides a variety of online formats to fit different needs.

Ways of working Amy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Amy blends approaches for online therapy

Amy commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the conversation centres on the person’s experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing. This approach helps people feel understood and to explore what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and some relationship worries. Mindfulness therapy brings short exercises that ground attention in the present moment and can reduce stress and rumination.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Amy will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which approaches to try. The process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use brief tools between meetings.
