About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing codependency, abandonment issues, communication problems and life transitions.
Amy uses a person-centred approach that treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client's comfort. She listens for what matters to you and helps you make sense of patterns that get in the way of your goals.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy when practical tools are helpful. That approach is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to test new ways of responding. Motivational interviewing is brought in when people want support with changes linked to addictions or commitment conflicts.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused methods help identify small strengths and steps that move everyday life forward. Amy aims to combine these approaches in a straightforward way your everyday life can use.
People come for help with anxiety, relationship patterns, low self-worth and the strain of caring or living with someone who is often in crisis. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as clearer understanding of what keeps a pattern going. If you prefer plain conversation and practical tools, her style is a direct fit.
How sessions work
How Amy uses therapy approaches online
Amy commonly blends person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural work. Person-centred counselling involves open conversation where the client leads and the counsellor follows, helping clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural work offers practical exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can be useful for anxiety and low self-worth.She also uses mindfulness to build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity, and motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes linked to addictions or commitment issues. The therapist will work with clients to choose which methods to use. Deciding the best fit is a collaborative process based on your goals and preferences rather than a preset plan.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. The therapist will help schedule sessions in ways that fit around work, family and daily life. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or focus on skills practice between sessions. Confirm the exact session formats offered when you arrange your first appointment.
