Background and approach
Her background gives her a practical grasp of common emotional challenges people bring to therapy. In sessions she tailors the conversation to each person's needs. She draws on client-centred ways of working to listen closely and build on what matters to the client.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new coping strategies. Mary aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. She helps people break down problems into small steps and set realistic goals.
Conversations can include practical exercises, checking what helps day to day, and reviewing progress together. People meet with her to cope with grief, parenting stress, chronic illness or pain, and life transitions. She also supports those who experience issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, codependency, or feelings of emptiness.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to suit different routines.
How Mary uses client-centred and CBT approaches online
Mary uses client-centred counselling to start - that means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel understood and sets the agenda for change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety and to try practical coping steps. CBT sessions often include simple exercises to test new behaviours and reduce unhelpful thoughts, which can suit worries, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. She checks in on what helps and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so it stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical, achievable steps.
