About Mary

Mary Foucher is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and life transitions. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Mary writes that taking the first step is often the hardest and she offers steady support through that process.

Mary holds a BSc in Reflective Therapeutic Practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Background and approach

She has four years of professional experience working with common concerns such as grief, parenting challenges, depression and coping with change. Her background combines conversations that explore feelings with exercises that build new ways of coping. In sessions she adapts the pace to each person.

Some clients work through what matters most by talking and reflecting. Others focus on experiments and small behavioural changes they can try between meetings. The approach is collaborative and aimed at what helps in everyday life.

Mary also works with a wide range of related issues including attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. She describes therapy as a space to notice patterns, test new responses and strengthen day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered in English and Mary accepts international clients.

She tailors sessions to the individual and encourages clear, doable goals so progress can be seen and adjusted over time.

How Mary’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, non-directive space to talk. It helps when someone needs to be heard, make sense of feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, lift low mood and improve coping in daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Mary will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt sessions as needs change. The process is collaborative so clients help shape the plan and try methods that suit them.

Online therapy offers a range of formats to fit different lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or days when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to book regular sessions, fit therapy around work and family commitments, and try different formats to see what helps most.
