About Mary
Psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS), three years' experience, working in the United Kingdom. Mary Goggin focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic and solution-focused methods.
Mary describes counselling as a collaborative process. She listens and helps people talk through their thoughts and feelings without telling them what to do. Sessions begin with agreed goals and regular checks on progress. She may offer information or gentle prompts to explore different ways of thinking.
Her work pays attention to where problems started and how they continue to affect day-to-day life. That exploration is used alongside practical steps to build new habits and improve self-worth. This can be helpful for people facing relationship issues, intimacy concerns, or struggles with control and commitment.
Mary also offers support around specific challenges such as abandonment, codependency, jealousy and divorce or separation. She lists work with people affected by domestic violence, hearing impairment, HIV/AIDS and surviving natural or human-caused disasters. She helps those coping with emptiness, guilt, shame and questions about life purpose.
In addition to private practice, she is a director of a community interest company that provides free or low-cost services locally. She is an Accredited Anxiety UK therapist and holds the NCPS credential.

How Mary uses different approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and finding direction after loss. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly chosen for stress, anxiety and depression. Psychodynamic work examines patterns from past relationships that influence present reactions and can help with long-standing intimacy and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss options with each person and agree on methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses and practical adjustments made.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting conversations into everyday life and reducing travel time. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to combine therapy with work or family commitments.
