About Mary
Mary Goggin is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma and abuse concerns, along with grief, depression and self-esteem issues. Sessions also address career questions and coping with life changes.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas. That means she notices thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and also looks at early patterns that affect current feelings. She uses practical techniques and reflective conversation to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Mary and the person booking set clear short-term goals together. Progress is checked along the way and obstacles are handled in a straightforward way. She may offer information or gently prompt different ways of thinking when that fits the goals.
Her practice includes work on issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment and control issues. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of disasters. Additional focus areas include shame, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Mary notes experience supporting people affected by HIV / AIDS and those who are hearing impaired. She is a director of a community interest company that offers free or low-cost support locally. Sessions are conducted in English and she practises from the United Kingdom.
How Mary uses CBT, ACT and trauma-focused work online
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. CBT focuses on small, practical changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety, low mood and relationship stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Trauma-focused work is used when past events continue to affect day-to-day life, aiming to reduce intrusive memories and distress through structured techniques.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adapt if something else suits better. Mary uses discussion and practical exercises together to decide which methods to emphasise.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer sessions that help people keep therapy manageable within everyday life.
