About Mary
Mary Goggin is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who blends practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She brings three years of professional experience alongside personal life experience to support people through difficult moments. Mary uses clear, down-to-earth language and listens without judgement. Her credential, NCPS, is noted as part of her professional identity.
Mary draws on a mix of therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. She works collaboratively with each person to set realistic goals and to check progress along the way. Sessions often include tools and small experiments to try between meetings so change can happen in daily life.
Her focus areas include grief, depression, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and career-related stress. She also helps people facing issues such as abandonment, codependency, divorce and separation, domestic violence and isolation. Mary pays attention to how past experiences and current patterns keep people stuck, and she supports steps toward clearer boundaries and healthier habits.
Mary has been an Accredited Anxiety UK therapist and is a director of a community interest company called I’m all ears, which offers low-cost and free local support. She may provide information and gentle prompts to encourage different ways of thinking, while respecting each person’s pace and choices.
Sessions are offered in English and take place within the United Kingdom. Prospective clients who want to start are asked to use the Start Therapy process on the site to complete the matching questionnaire and arrange scheduling.
How Mary’s approaches translate to online work
Mary commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can ease feelings of emptiness or life drift. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to challenge patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. She checks progress and adapts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use different ways of engaging with therapeutic tasks between meetings, helping new habits stick without having to change daily routines.
