Amy Mayhew

Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth space for people to talk through what matters to them. She works gently and at each person’s pace, focusing on listening and helping clients reconnect with their own strengths. Amy holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Amy often supports people with anxiety and stress. She also helps with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions. The profile lists eating and food-related issues among areas of focus, and Amy works with people who want to bring those concerns into therapy.

Her way of working starts from the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives. She does not give directives. Instead she walks alongside people, asking questions and reflecting what she hears so clients can find clarity and new options.

Amy draws on practical methods when needed, including cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify steps that feel manageable in day-to-day life.

With five years of practice, Amy aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful. She invites people to explore worries, understand behaviours and try small changes. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood and times of change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical steps to try differently. It can be useful for reducing anxiety, addressing patterns around food, and changing unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention exercises to help reduce worry and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss methods with each person and agree what to try together. That collaborative decision is shaped by the client's needs, goals and what feels workable in everyday life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, appointments and family life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people use mindfulness or CBT tools between sessions. Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals on the site can explain which session types they offer and help arrange times that suit your routine.
