About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. She focuses on anxiety and related concerns while offering a calm space to talk through whatever is on your mind. Amy holds BACP accreditation and has five years of experience working with adults.
Her style starts from the belief that each person knows their own life best. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions move at the client's pace and aim to restore a sense of clarity and personal strength.
Amy regularly supports people with stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also addresses difficult experiences such as trauma and abuse, bereavement, and life transitions. Codependency and issues like abandonment or communication problems are included among the matters she will talk through.
She blends client-centred work with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing also feature when they suit a person's aims. Together these approaches help people test small changes and build everyday coping skills.
Amy works from a respectful, collaborative stance. The sessions aim to help people feel heard and more able to make choices that suit them. To begin, people are invited to describe what they need so the work can be shaped around their goals.
How Amy uses therapeutic approaches online
Amy combines person-centred work with practical techniques when working online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person find their own solutions. It is helpful for people who need space to make sense of feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches simple strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and can be useful when someone wants quicker, goal-oriented sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt methods to suit the situation. That collaborative planning helps build a clear, manageable plan for change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simple to continue therapy during life changes, while the therapist and client test which tools work best in everyday life.
