Mary Foucher helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or life changes. She introduces a calm, non-judgemental way of talking that aims to make the first step feel less daunting. Mary uses clear, practical language so conversations stay focused and easy to follow.

Mary trained to degree level and holds a BSc in Reflective Therapeutic Practice. She also holds a CPCAB Level 5 qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she is registered with the BACP.

Background and approach

She has four years of professional experience working with adults on issues such as low mood, grief and parenting strain. In sessions she combines client-centred listening with practical CBT tools. That means she starts by hearing what matters most to the person and then introduces small techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

The aim is to build realistic goals and steady progress, not quick fixes. Mary pays attention to relationship and family difficulties, including communication problems, separation and situations that leave people feeling empty or abandoned. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image concerns.

Conversations are shaped around each persons priorities and pace. Therapy options include talking by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Mary accepts clients in English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

She encourages practical steps and gentle reflection to help people move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

How Marys approaches work online

Mary uses client-centred therapy to focus on the persons own concerns and priorities. That approach involves attentive listening and working at the clients pace to build trust and clarity about what to change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions are connected. CBT helps when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits get in the way of daily life by teaching specific strategies to cope and adjust behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Mary will work with each person to decide whether client-centred work, CBT, or a blend of both fits best for their goals and preferences. This collaborative way means plans can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be helpful for short check-ins or if someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
