About Mary
Mary Goggin is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who blends practical approaches with listening and support. She uses life experience alongside therapeutic tools to help people untangle difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. Mary aims to create a calm space where clients can say what they need to and explore options without being told what to do.
Mary works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. Her wider focus includes matters like codependency, abandonment, divorce and separation, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her way of working mixes different methods to match each person's needs. She and the client set goals together, check progress and adjust the plan if needed. Sessions may include practical tools, gentle challenge and time to look at the roots of painful patterns.
Mary holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS here. She is an Accredited Anxiety UK therapist and is a director of the I’m all ears Community Interest Company, which provides low-cost or free support to a local community.
She has three years of professional experience and offers counselling from the United Kingdom. Conversations are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

How Mary adapts ACT, CBT and trauma work for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps towards a more meaningful life, which can help with stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilising reactions, building coping strategies and gradually processing difficult experiences in a paced way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so sessions match the person's needs.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Many people find that practical exercises and reflection translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will support adapting techniques to whatever format you use.
