Amy Mayhew

Amy Mayhew is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of client work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Amy also supports people dealing with abandonment, body image, codependency, divorce, and other life strains including cancer and ageing issues.

She works from a person-centred stance that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client, with Amy listening and reflecting rather than directing. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods are used when helpful to break down problems and try new patterns.

Amy also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and build simple, manageable routines. Motivational interviewing is brought in for people wrestling with change, such as addictive behaviours or commitment doubts. The mix of approaches is chosen to fit the issue at hand and the person's preferences.

Sessions tend to focus on identifying what is getting in the way now, testing small changes, and noticing which steps feel possible. She routinely helps people talk through communication problems, attachment concerns, and the emotional aftermath of separation or abuse. Work may include short-term goals or longer conversations depending on what the individual wants.

Language offered is English and international sessions are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Amy uses her approaches in online sessions

Amy combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle current problems and change patterns. Person-centred practice means conversations focus on the client's perspective and priorities, while CBT offers practical ways to test thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

She also uses mindfulness methods to help reduce reactivity and build simple routines for dealing with stress. Motivational interviewing can be introduced when someone is unsure about change, helping to clarify values and move towards small, achievable steps. These approaches help with anxiety, addictive behaviours, relationship issues and coping after loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adapt the plan together as progress or obstacles appear. This collaborative process helps identify what feels useful in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Amy through the booking process to choose arrangements that suit you.
