About Amy
Amy Mayhew is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She focuses on anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She offers straightforward, practical work for people who want clear tools and steady support.
Amy uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside person-centred listening and mindfulness. Sessions look at recurring thoughts and habits, and try small changes to see what helps. She keeps language plain and actions concrete so busy people can use techniques between sessions.
Her work often involves short exercises, thought records, and mindful breathing to reduce distress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps help when someone wants to change habits or make decisions. These methods are used alongside open conversation about what matters to the client.
Amy has worked with people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, body image and communication problems. She also supports those facing divorce, caregiving and ageing concerns, cancer-related stress, and the effects of domestic violence. Practical problem solving and steady feedback are core parts of sessions.
Sessions move at the client’s pace. Amy asks about day-to-day routines and suggests specific, manageable tasks to try between meetings. People who want clear, structured approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses will find this style direct and hands-on.
How Amy uses practical approaches in online sessions
Amy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred methods in her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce worry or avoidance. Client-centred work involves listening closely and reflecting back what matters so the client can find their own solutions.She also uses mindfulness practices to teach simple breathing and attention skills that reduce immediate stress. These are short exercises that can be practised between meetings to help with anxiety and low mood. Together, these approaches aim to be action-orientated and easy to apply in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try approaches and adjust them based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback about what feels useful so the plan can be changed as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks and exercises to suit a client’s routine and day-to-day constraints.
