Mary Foucher, BACP

Mary Foucher is a counsellor with four years of professional experience. She holds a BACP credential and a BSc in Reflective Therapeutic Practice. Mary offers a respectful, sensitive approach for people finding life feels overwhelming or uncertain.

She helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, and worries about self-esteem and motivation. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

Mary combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and uses practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on achievable change.

Her wider focus includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication and control issues, and separation or divorce. These topics are approached with compassion and without judgement.

Mary describes therapy as a collaborative process. Together with a client she will shape the conversation and the plan. The emphasis is on helping people build coping skills, clearer thinking, and more satisfying day-to-day routines.

How Mary uses client-centred and CBT approaches online

Mary draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT offers practical exercises and simple strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins between fuller sessions or to choose options that suit a quieter setting or lower bandwidth. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt tools and exercises to work well in online sessions.
