Amy Mayhew, BACP

Amy Mayhew is a qualified person-centred therapist who brings a warm, down-to-earth manner to her work and creates a supportive space for people to explore whatever is on their mind. She works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and she aims to walk alongside clients as they identify and address the patterns and obstacles that are holding them back. Amy is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Amy specialises in supporting people with anxiety and also works with a broad range of concerns including stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. Her approach emphasises listening, respect, and collaboration rather than giving directives, so clients retain control over the pace and direction of their work. She helps people reconnect with their inner resources, build clarity, and strengthen resilience.

Sessions with Amy progress at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual, with empathy and practical support at the heart of the process. Her aim is to help clients feel heard and understood, to make sense of what they are experiencing, and to move forward in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s own goals and experience guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard, understood, and supported to build their own answers to difficult situations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and uses practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and problems that benefit from clear, goal-oriented exercises.

Amy works collaboratively with clients to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Determining the right therapeutic style is part of the process, and she will help explore options together so that therapy feels tailored and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, support progress between sessions, and provide different ways for clients to engage that suit their comfort and lifestyle.
