Mary Goggin uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people untangle stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She writes plainly and listens without judgement. Mary aims to help people find clearer thinking and a steadier way forward.

Mary has three years of practice in counselling and draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused methods and trauma-focused work when relevant.

Background and approach

This lets her shift between looking at past patterns and building useful everyday skills. In sessions she helps clients set simple, realistic goals and checks progress together. Conversations often focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviours, and finding values that matter.

She also supports people managing grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and major life changes. Mary offers ways to address problems such as abandonment, codependency, control or commitment issues, loneliness, guilt and shame, and recovery from domestic violence or other abuse. She is experienced supporting people affected by HIV and those who are hearing impaired.

Practical coping strategies are mixed with attention to emotional causes. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Mary works from the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.

Her listed credential is NCPS.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It focuses on values and simple behavioural moves to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding traumatic experiences and building safety, grounding and coping skills to reduce their hold on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She tailors methods based on each person’s needs and checks in regularly to see what is working and what to adjust.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close while keeping travel time low. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, follow-up notes, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions around work, family and daily life.
