About Amy
Counsellor Amy Mayhew is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem issues. Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom.
Amy uses a person-centred approach in her work. She listens and helps people untangle what feels confusing or heavy. She keeps sessions grounded and practical, and lets the person lead the pace and focus of the conversation.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop awareness of feelings and bodily reactions in the moment. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change behaviour but feel stuck or unsure about taking steps.
Amy has supported people through grief, life transitions and relationship strain. She helps with issues such as body image, communication problems, codependency and coping after traumatic events. Her work includes addressing concerns linked to ageing and health, and difficulties connected to attachment, abandonment and commitment.
Sessions rely on what the person wants to work on and how they prefer to proceed. Cost varies by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online counselling
Amy combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client’s pace, helping them name what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours to find practical steps that reduce distress. Mindfulness teaches noticing bodily signals and emotions in the moment, which can help with anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go. This keeps the process collaborative and flexible.
