Amy Mayhew, BACP

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, down-to-earth space for people to talk about what is worrying them. She focuses on anxiety while also helping with stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Her approach is gentle and paced to the individual, with an emphasis on listening and understanding.

With five years of experience she brings practical ways to untangle difficult feelings. Sessions often look at what gets in the way of feeling calm and confident. She helps people spot patterns, test small changes and build on what already works for them.

Amy uses elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when they suit a person's needs. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help set and reach achievable goals. These methods are used to support clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

People seeking help for trauma, addictions, grief or life transitions can find a straightforward, compassionate listener in her. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices and relationships. The work aims to increase clarity and self-trust rather than quick fixes.

Amy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Amy draws on person-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to shape online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening and supporting you to make your own decisions, which helps when you need space to reflect and make changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thought and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and calm through simple breathing and awareness exercises.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. You can try different techniques and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful. The emphasis is on finding what fits your needs rather than following a single model.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It can also make some exercises easier to practice between sessions, such as mindfulness or CBT homework, while keeping the focus on practical steps you can use day to day.
