About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She also works with related issues such as abandonment, attachment problems and communication difficulties.
Amy uses a person-centred way of working that treats the client as the expert in their life. Sessions are paced by the client and aim to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning and wellbeing. She combines this with practical methods when helpful, including cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises.
In a typical conversation she helps people talk through immediate worries and longer-standing patterns. That might include looking at thought patterns that keep anxiety going, practising grounding or mindfulness skills, or setting small, manageable goals to change habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas appear when people want clear next steps.
Amy has supported people through grief, life transitions and the strain that comes with work or study pressures. She also has experience addressing issues connected to body image, codependency, divorce, domestic violence and coping after traumatic events. Her work often blends reflective listening with practical tools.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the approaches listed in her profile. People are invited to consider what they want from counselling and to agree on practical next steps together. To begin, clients use the site process to match with her and book a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Amy combines person-centred work with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping the client clarify what matters most to them. It is useful for people who need time to talk things through and make sense of their feelings.CBT involves looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small changes. It suits people wanting clear tools to reduce anxiety or break unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises that help manage stress and intrusive thoughts.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences together and adjust the methods used over time. That means sessions can mix reflective listening with CBT exercises or mindfulness practices as needed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, early careers and busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered professionals tailor pacing and techniques so sessions fit into everyday life rather than disrupt it.
