About

About Maureen

Maureen Conboy is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship worries. She works with clients who are exploring self-esteem, anger, sleep problems and life transitions, and she also supports LGBT people. Maureen holds BACP accreditation and brings eight years of experience to her work.

She uses a client-centred style that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to each person. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with time spent on skills you can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Maureen also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and notice small changes fast. That approach is useful when someone wants clearer steps through a tough period.

Together these methods aim to make everyday life feel more manageable. Her background includes eight years supporting people with mood disorders, panic, phobias and obsessive-compulsive concerns. She also attends to issues such as loneliness, communication problems, domestic violence and divorce and separation.

Maureen tailors the pace to each person and works to build coping strategies that fit their situation. Sessions are conducted in English and Maureen accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are encouraged to confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site.

Online support

How Maureen uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s priorities, helping people to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits people who want concrete strategies to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on recognising what is already working in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Maureen works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Over the first few meetings she will check what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when they have limited time, while others opt for longer appointments for deeper work. Since session formats are not specified here, clients should confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on practical, usable tools and on shaping therapy so it fits everyday life rather than creating extra strain.
