More about Mary

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I have been working and studying in the fields of Psychology and mental health for 20 years. I hold a Degree in Psychology, as well as a Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My education along with my many years of experience, working with a myriad of issues, in various contexts allows me to work successfully with a wide range of issues a client may be experiencing.

I love to help people, and feel very humbled with regards to my work as a Psychotherapist. I feel grateful to have been chosen by so many clients, and to work with them, in facilitating their therapeutic process, and to be involved as they create a life that they desire and that they deserve.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mary is really great and understanding. She listens and lets me talk and points out the areas where I can use some support that is actionable. I always feel relaxed in our sessions and we can have a laugh too which is just really nice.
