Amy MayhewBACP

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth space to talk through what matters to you. She focuses on anxiety but also supports people with stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and major life transitions. Amy aims to help clients feel heard and understood so they can find clearer footing during hard times.

She works alongside each person rather than directing them, assuming clients are the experts in their own lives. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on uncovering what is holding them back. The aim is to reconnect people with inner strength and practical ways to cope.

Over five years of practice have given Amy experience with a wide range of concerns. Beyond her main areas she has supported people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, communication problems, and issues around cancer and ageing.

Amy uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person’s needs, including client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. She draws on these methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and build small, achievable steps forward.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If you are considering therapy, Amy invites you to start with a short questionnaire and then arrange a time that suits you.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amy uses person-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can make sense of their thoughts. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and helps people test and change them. Mindfulness encourages gentle attention to the present moment to reduce stress and ease anxiety.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to find what fits best based on goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. She adapts the mix of listening, practical exercises and brief skills work as the relationship develops.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also gives scope to practise skills between meetings and to bring everyday problems into the session for real-time discussion.
