Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth way of working. She focuses on anxiety, stress and addictions while also supporting people with relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Amy aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and respected as they talk through what matters to them.

She uses a person-centred approach to help people explore their own values and choices rather than giving directions.

Background and approach

That sits alongside practical methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build everyday coping skills. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change habits but feel stuck. Amy has five years of experience working with a wide range of presenting issues.

She draws on simple, plain-language ways to help people notice patterns, reduce anxiety and make steps towards goals. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what the person wants to address next. People often come for help with specific situations such as grief, separation or communication problems.

Amy also supports those who are dealing with the impact of abuse, domestic violence, health issues such as cancer, and longer-term personality or attachment concerns. She pays attention to practical coping strategies alongside emotional processing. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Amy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Amy blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches to create practical online sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers straightforward tools to reduce anxiety and unhelpful reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce stress and ground someone during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online formats make regular contact easier to arrange. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief ongoing support, or need flexible timing. These choices help make therapy more convenient and adaptable to daily life.
