Mary Weavers, BACP

Those years abroad gave her exposure to different cultures and ways of coping. She uses that background to listen carefully and avoid quick assumptions. In sessions she focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and major life changes.

She also supports people dealing with grief, loss, fertility concerns, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or cancer. Workplace pressures, feelings of emptiness, guilt and questions about forgiveness are included in her areas of interest. Mary works to make the counselling room a calm place to speak plainly about what is hard.

She encourages people to name feelings and try small, manageable steps between sessions. Her style is patient, non-judgemental and rooted in the person-centred model. People who prefer an Open, listening approach tend to fit well with her way of working.

She helps clients weigh options and find their own answers rather than teaching them a fixed method. The focus is on what the client wants to change and how to get there. Sessions can cover practical coping strategies alongside space to process emotions.

Mary supports people through transitions such as separation, end-of-life issues, and the long-term effects of illness. She aims to make each meeting feel relevant and usable in everyday life.
