Background and approach
Her style is person-centred and practical. Sessions focus on what is most troubling right now, and on simple, clear steps to cope and feel steadier. She listens first, then helps people try approaches that suit their situation.
People can expect straightforward talk, active listening, and practical tools to use between sessions. Maureen keeps language plain and avoids jargon so parents and busy adults can follow along easily. She encourages small, manageable changes and reviews progress together.
This helps people build confidence and handle daily stresses more effectively.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Maureen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to suit what each person needs. One common approach is person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, building trust and helping people find their own answers to stress and anxiety. Another approach focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and low mood, teaching breathing, grounding and simple behavioural steps to manage intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the person’s life and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and convenience through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, quick coping tips or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines, while still getting consistent care from an appropriately qualified counsellor.
