About Mary

Mary Foucher is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, and low self-esteem. She works with clients who are coping with life changes, grief, parenting demands and depression. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people under pressure.

Mary has four years of professional experience and holds a Bachelor of Science in Reflective Therapeutic Practice.

Background and approach

She also lists CPCAB Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This background informs her blend of conversational and structured approaches. In sessions she listens carefully and adapts the pace to each person.

That might mean open conversation one week and more focused skills practice the next. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns show up now, and she helps clients spot unhelpful thinking that feeds anxiety and low mood. Practical strategies often include simple thinking exercises, communication techniques for difficult conversations, and steps to rebuild confidence after loss or separation.

Work on parenting often focuses on what the parent needs to feel steadier, rather than changing the child. Mary encourages people to take small steps between sessions so progress is manageable. She supports individual adults who want clearer thinking, steadier mood, or better ways to cope with life’s demands.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflective conversation so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices. This approach is helpful for grief, relationship distress, low self-esteem and parenting strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, depression and adjusting to life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit you. You can try conversational sessions, more structured CBT work, or a mixture until something fits.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick adjustments between sessions or when a written record helps reflection. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy easier to schedule around work, caring duties or travel.
