Amy Mayhew, BACP

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth approach. She creates a supportive space for people to talk through worries and find clarity. Amy focuses on anxiety while also helping with stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and life transitions.

She believes each person knows their own life best and works alongside clients rather than giving directives. Sessions move at the client’s pace, with focus on listening and building on personal strengths. The aim is to help people reconnect with resilience and clearer thinking.

Over five years Amy has supported people with a wide range of concerns. This includes addictions, trauma and abuse, and communication problems, along with issues such as abandonment and codependency. She also lists ageing and geriatric issues among her additional areas of focus.

Amy uses practical, conversational methods so sessions feel straightforward. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms and try out new ways of coping. Motivational and solution-focused ideas are used where clients want clear steps and short-term goals.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place within the United Kingdom. Amy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and brings an empathetic, steady presence to her work.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amy practices person-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-informed techniques. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of what matters most. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing different ways of thinking and behaving to ease symptoms. Mindfulness-based ideas encourage simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan so work stays relevant and practical.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work and family commitments, avoid travel time, and choose quieter moments for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it straightforward to try brief, solution-focused sessions or to practise mindfulness exercises between meetings.
