Amy Mayhew, BACP

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth presence for people facing anxiety and related concerns. She keeps the room calm and straightforward. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most to them.

She specialises in anxiety and also helps with stress, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She supports people working through grief, life transitions and the fallout from trauma and abuse. The work is practical and grounded, with space to talk and reflect.

Amy believes the client is the expert in their own life. She does not give directives but helps people uncover what’s holding them back. Together they explore patterns and small changes that can make daily life easier.

Her approach draws on person-centred ways of working alongside tools from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. This mix aims to balance listening with useful, actionable ideas to try between sessions.

Amy has five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats offered by the service.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy uses person-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at practical patterns in thinking and behaviour and offers steps to try between sessions. Mindfulness introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Amy will work together with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the emphasis as progress is made. The collaboration is practical and paced to what the client needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote counselling makes it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduces travel time, and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well in online appointments.
