Amy Mayhew , BACP

Amy Mayhew is a qualified person-centred therapist who creates a warm, down-to-earth space for people to explore whatever is on their mind. She specialises in working with anxiety and supports clients facing stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. With an emphasis on listening and collaboration, she helps clients identify what may be holding them back and reconnect with their inner strength, clarity, and resilience while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

She approaches therapy from the view that clients are the experts in their own lives and does not prescribe solutions. Instead, she walks alongside clients with compassion and respect, helping them uncover practical steps and personal insights that fit their situation. Amy holds membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Whether someone is managing anxiety, going through a difficult period, or simply seeking space to reflect, Amy aims to help them feel heard, understood, and empowered so they can make sense of their experience and move forward in ways that feel right.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Amy Mayhew draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, client-led space where individuals explore their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem and processing relationship or life transition issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and reshapes unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies that are commonly used for anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity, useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with challenging patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as the work unfolds so the approach stays relevant and helpful.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and accessibility, making it easier for clients to fit therapy into everyday life. These options support continuity of care and give people choices about how they connect with licensed professionals and therapists, helping therapy remain consistent even when schedules or circumstances change.
