Amy Mayhew
Person-centred support for anxiety and stress
About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a person-centred counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing anxiety and stress. She works in a way that keeps the client in charge, listening closely and responding with practical, respectful guidance. Amy uses simple, clear language so conversations feel easy to follow, even when topics are hard.
With five years of experience, she has supported people through a wide range of difficulties. These include addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also helps with issues such as abandonment, body image, cancer-related concerns, communication problems, and coping after disaster. Amy combines person-centred practice with approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set practical goals and notice small changes.
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most right now. Work with Amy often involves talking through feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying simple steps to change them. She supports people who are dealing with divorce and separation, codependency, commitment worries, and domestic violence impacts.
She also attends to longer-term personality and attachment issues when these come up. Amy practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life
Amy combines person-centred practice with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people in online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most, creating space for people to make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses small experiments to change them. Mindfulness helps develop simple ways to notice and manage difficult feelings in the moment.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that match what the person wants to achieve. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as things progress.
Online therapy makes different session styles easy to use. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people want that connection. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break in the day. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility and help therapy fit around life commitments.
