I utilise models such as EMDR, CBT, CFT and ACT in a way that is bespoke to your needs.

Me and my team offer therapy for those who have experienced trauma or distress during any part of the perinatal period: trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth or in parenthood. We have a passion for supporting those who have been through neonatal care or hospitalisation with their babies. Maybe you are experiencing high levels of anxiety since becoming a parent, issues with your identity or struggling to process what happened to you...

Hello and welcome. I hope that I can help you with whatever it is that you are struggling with, be it grief, loss, trauma, change, anxiety, depression, stress etc. What makes you you is a unique blend of factors but at the same time it is good to know that it is very, very common to struggle or to need to make changes. I hope to offer a safe space for you to explore yourself (if that is what is needed) and to cope with your struggles.

Life can be challenging. It can be difficult opening up to someone about the worst that's happened to us, about the parts of ourselves we struggle with. For some dealing with trauma can impact how we treat others, having negative impacts on relationships & life. I’ve worked for over 25 years with those who’ve experienced complex trauma: who’ve lived/worked in conflict zones; been abused by family; struggle to emotionally regulate; have been abusive & with relationship breakdown. As a couple it’s important to feel the therapist you choose is able to work with you around your relationship.

As a psychologist with ten years experience offering therapy, often to individuals with complex needs, I am passionate about helping you to break your cycles and understand why they occur. This can include offering a safe space to explore any history of difficult experiences which you still feel effect you.

Mary can work successfully within many modalities including EMDR, CBT, trauma-focused CBT, narrative therapy, CFT, ACT.
Mary’s secret recipe for success is her combination of traditional evidence-based therapies such as CBT with psychosensory approaches such as havening, EMDR, see-far CBT, and EFT. The added psychosensory dimension to therapy can access some deep issues which otherwise can be very difficult to treat such as PTSD, OCD and panic disorders.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
