Margaret Booth is a counsellor with NCPS and 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or major life changes. Her approach is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.

She works with common concerns such as grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, and difficulties with sleep or eating. She also supports people facing relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, trauma and addiction-related struggles.

Background and approach

Margaret has experience helping those managing bipolar symptoms, career pressure and compassion fatigue. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. She listens first and then suggests ways to try, such as talking through difficult feelings, testing small behaviour changes, and practising new coping skills.

Margaret explains ideas simply and helps people pick plans that feel possible to use between sessions. Her background includes use of approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-informed work. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, manage overwhelming emotions and build clearer priorities.

People who come to Margaret often want a calm, respectful space to think things through. She aims to help clients set realistic goals and take steady steps towards better routines, stronger boundaries and more self-compassion. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit around their life and commitments.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It supports people struggling with anxiety, low mood or life transitions by teaching values-based goals and simple exercises to change how they respond to stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and everyday stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Margaret will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt methods as needed, so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone meetings, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, brief coaching or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping sessions consistent and focused.
