About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem difficulties. Amy also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.
Amy uses a person-centred style that treats the person rather than the problem. She listens without directing decisions and helps people name what is getting in the way. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on practical next steps when those feel useful.
She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness is used to bring attention to present moment experience and reduce rumination. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by exploring ambivalence and personal reasons for doing things differently.
Amy supports people dealing with life transitions such as divorce or bereavement, and those coping with physical health challenges like cancer. She also helps people address issues linked to personality patterns, avoidance, and dependence in relationships.
Her work is conversational and straightforward. People can expect clear aims for sessions, space to reflect, and practical strategies to try between meetings. To start, clients follow the site's booking flow and complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Her work combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy in a straightforward way. Person-centred counselling focuses on the client's perspective, with the counsellor listening and helping clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers step-by-step ways to try different responses.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce repetitive thinking and bring attention to present-moment experience. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and rumination because it trains gentle noticing rather than pushing thoughts away.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to identify what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying one way of working for a few sessions and adjusting if it does not feel helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and what will best fit a client's circumstances when arranging the first session.
