About Amy

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth space to talk about what matters to you. She focuses on anxiety and related struggles, and aims to help people feel heard and understood before deciding what to work on together.

Amy uses a gentle, collaborative style. She assumes each person knows their life best and listens for what is getting in the way of feeling more able and clear. Sessions move at the client's pace and are shaped by what the person wants to address.

Alongside anxiety, she has experience supporting people with stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief and life transitions. Money and financial issues are included among the practical worries she helps people talk through when these affect wellbeing.

Her approach blends person-centred listening with practical tools when helpful. This can include thinking about unhelpful thought patterns, using short goal-focused work, or bringing mindful awareness into everyday routines.

Amy has five years' experience and holds BACP as her listed credential. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. If you want to start, the site matching process offers a short questionnaire and scheduling to fit the therapist's availability.

How Amy's approaches work in online therapy

Amy blends person-centred listening with practical techniques to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients find their own solutions; it supports people who need space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviours and offers practical steps to reduce worry and improve day-to-day coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to bring attention to the present moment and notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods fit best. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and the therapist adapts the plans collaboratively.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation suits your schedule. It also makes it possible to continue therapy during life transitions while maintaining regular contact with a therapist or counsellor.
