About Mary
Mary draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches rather than a single method. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she may offer information, suggest different ways of thinking, and practice techniques that relate to those approaches.
Work begins by agreeing goals to focus on in counselling. Progress is checked together and obstacles are addressed as they arise. Mary places attention on understanding the roots of distress and the patterns that keep problems going.
Practical skills and new habits are part of the work. For many people this includes building clearer boundaries, reducing avoidance, and practising responses that support self-worth. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, commitment or control issues, and recovery from domestic violence.
Mary is an Accredited Anxiety UK therapist and a director of I’m all ears Community Interest Company, which offers free or low-cost services locally. Sessions are conducted in English and Mary works from within the United Kingdom.

How her approaches translate to online work
Mary frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult; it can help with life purpose questions and anxiety. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviour links, using practical exercises to reduce symptoms and change habitual responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress and obstacles appear. That collaborative choice helps match techniques to what feels useful for everyday life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for using exercises and worksheets during a session in a way that supports the work being done.
