About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who takes a warm, down-to-earth approach. She focuses on anxiety and helps people who are feeling stressed, low in self-esteem, or caught in difficult relationship patterns. Amy aims to make sessions feel supportive and straightforward so people can talk through what matters to them.
She believes each person knows their life best. Rather than giving directions, Amy walks alongside people as they work out what is holding them back.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels comfortable, with compassion and respect guiding the conversation. Alongside anxiety and stress, she also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. Additional areas she works with include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency and communication problems among others.
These topics often come up in practical, everyday ways and she focuses on clear steps forward. Amy combines person-centred work with approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies. That means sessions can include noticing thought patterns, trying small experiments, and setting short-term goals when helpful.
She has five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Amy practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To start, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to her availability.

How Amy works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will help clients decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so people should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy through life changes and help maintain momentum between sessions.
