Maureen Conboy offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or low mood. She explains things plainly and focuses on small, useful steps that make day-to-day life easier. She uses a client-centred way of working that places the person’s experience at the heart of each session.

That means listening first, then shaping what happens next around the goals you bring. Maureen also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions usually concentrate on manageable tools and coping strategies. Maureen will help you spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try different ways of responding, and rehearse skills you can use between meetings. Many people come for help with sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger or relationship stress.

She has eight years of experience and is listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice includes work around mood disorders, panic and phobias, obsessive-compulsive concerns, self-harm and issues related to loneliness and ageing. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person.

If you want straightforward help with anxiety, depression, coping with life changes or LGBT related concerns, Maureen aims to make therapy clear, practical and relevant to your everyday life.

Approaches for online sessions and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and responding with empathy. In practice this means sessions start with listening and reflecting, then shaping the work around what matters to you and how you want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence one another. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep problems, and often includes clear exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and on what you want to achieve. Sessions often set short-term goals and identify quick actions that can make life feel better sooner.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and the therapist will work with you to decide what fits. That decision is collaborative and may change as you progress, combining elements of different methods to match your needs and preferences.

Online therapy using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can provide quicker check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study and family routines while still focusing on practical tools and steady progress.
