About Mary
Mary Goggin is a counsellor who draws on a range of therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues and life changes. She uses practical conversation and guided reflection to help clients find clearer ways forward. Mary holds NCPS and describes three years of professional experience supporting people with common and complex concerns.
She offers a listening space without judgement and works collaboratively to set achievable goals. Sessions often involve looking at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and trying small changes to test what helps. She may share ideas or prompts to encourage different ways of thinking as part of that process.
Mary uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking to shape sessions around individual needs. Trauma-focused and solution-focused strategies may also be used when they suit a person’s goals. The focus is on practical steps as well as understanding how past events influence current feelings.
Her background includes work with anxiety, grief, depression, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, and with people facing career or family-related pressures. Additional areas addressed include codependency, abandonment issues, divorce and domestic violence, and coping after disasters or traumatic events.
Sessions are conducted in English from within the United Kingdom. The therapist notes NCPS as her listed credential and has worked for several years offering both community services and paid counselling.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives practical exercises to test new ways of thinking; it is commonly used for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through what feels helpful and try approaches that match a person’s goals and preferences. Goals are reviewed regularly so the plan can change if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue therapy if relocating within the UK, while the counsellor helps tailor techniques so they work well through remote conversation.
