About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who takes a warm, down-to-earth approach. She focuses on anxiety and related concerns and offers a calm space to talk through what is worrying you. Amy holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of experience to her work.
She focuses on common pressures such as stress, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She also supports people affected by trauma and abuse, and those dealing with addictions.
Background and approach
Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to help people reconnect with their own strengths. Amy uses practical, conversational techniques rather than giving instructions. She listens for what matters most and helps people try small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Work may include looking at thoughts, behaviours and unhelpful patterns, and practising ways to respond differently. In addition to her main areas, she has experience supporting people with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, codependency, coping after disaster, cancer-related worries, and separation or divorce. Amy also helps with communication problems and commitment concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are suitable for people seeking a steady, empathetic listener alongside practical coping strategies. Her aim is to help people feel heard, clearer about their next steps, and better able to manage the challenges they face.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT can help with anxiety, stress and patterns that keep problems going by giving clear steps to try and different ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then agree on a way of working together. That might mean using person-centred listening first, adding CBT tasks, or trying mindfulness exercises and solution-focused questions to notice progress.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls let people have a face-to-face style conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when internet quality is low. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want a way to reflect between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can combine these formats to fit someone’s life and needs.
