About Mary
Mary Goggin is a Psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family matters, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her practice also includes work on guilt and shame alongside issues such as abandonment, codependency and forgiveness.
Mary draws on different therapeutic methods to suit each person. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. Sessions often include practical tools and occasional information to prompt new ways of thinking.
Sessions begin with agreed goals and regular review of progress. Mary emphasises looking at the roots of difficult feelings and identifying patterns that maintain them. That approach helps people recognise triggers and start building different habits around thoughts and actions.
She also brings community work into her outlook, serving as a director of a community interest company that offers low-cost services. This local experience informs how she thinks about everyday stresses and practical barriers to change.
Mary aims to help people clarify values and make choices that fit those values. She supports work on intimacy, commitment and career-related concerns, and on distress linked to loss, violence or life disruption. If you want to explore how guilt or shame links to your choices, she offers a straightforward, goal-focused way of working.
How Mary uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-led steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, guilt and life-direction questions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences that shape current reactions. It can help people understand why certain triggers bring up strong shame or guilt and how those patterns repeat.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss options with clients and decide together which methods fit their goals, preferences and practical needs. This is a collaborative process that can shift as goals change.
The original profile does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life.
