About Amy

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, down-to-earth space for people to talk about what matters to them. She focuses on anxiety but also helps with stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Amy aims to listen without judgement and to help clients find their own solutions at their own pace.

With five years of experience, Amy uses a gentle, collaborative style rather than directing the conversation. She believes the client is the expert in their life and guides each session around their immediate needs.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be practical and focused, with room to reflect and process difficult feelings. Amy combines person-centred work with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and notice unhelpful patterns. She also uses elements of motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy when clients want clear steps and short-term goals.

People come to Amy for a range of worries, including trauma and abuse, addictions, body image and communication problems. She also supports those facing major life changes such as divorce, grief or caring for an ageing relative. Conversations aim to build clarity, confidence and small, achievable changes.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Amy holds BACP registration and practises in the United Kingdom. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit them.

How person-centred, CBT and mindfulness work online

Amy blends person-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in ways that suit each person. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel heard and can clarify your own goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness helps people notice their thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity and can reduce the intensity of anxious moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss different options and try methods that match a client's needs and pace. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and written reflection without needing to be on camera. These formats make it easier to have consistent sessions around work, family or travel commitments.
