About Maureen

Maureen Conboy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress and related emotional concerns, and lists issues such as self-esteem, relationships, sleep problems and coping with life changes.

She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Solution-Focused approaches. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can use between meetings. Conversations aim to be straightforward and problem-focused rather than full of clinical jargon.

Maureen often helps people who feel overwhelmed by early adult pressures - leaving home, starting work or study, relationship strain and the pressure to keep up. She talks through current problems, identifies unhelpful thought patterns, and works on small steps that make daily life easier.

Her style is collaborative: she listens and then offers ways to test out different coping skills. Work may include setting realistic goals, practising new responses to anxiety, and breaking problems into manageable tasks.

People can expect clear explanations of methods and concrete exercises to try between sessions. Maureen accepts international clients and carries out sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client and helps them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone needs space to talk through identity, relationship worries or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new routines. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, mood problems and sleep difficulties.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what is already working. It is useful when someone wants quick, goal-led work to improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to select approaches that fit the client’s goals and preferences. That discussion can happen in the first few sessions and be reviewed as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as they are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work or travel. They also let people try short check-ins, use audio instead of video if bandwidth is limited, or plan sessions that suit a busy routine.
