Maureen Conboy, BACP

Maureen Conboy is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress and related concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Maureen aims to make sessions straightforward and supportive for those feeling overwhelmed.

Her approach combines Client-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. That means conversations start with what matters most to the person and then move to clear ways to break unhelpful patterns. She often uses simple, practical tools that people can try between sessions.

Maureen has eight years of experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with people dealing with relationships, self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and managing life changes. She also supports those coping with loneliness, mood difficulties, obsessive thoughts, panic and phobias.

Aging and geriatric issues are included among her focus areas, alongside communication and separation concerns. Sessions also address topics such as women's issues, LGBT matters and self-harm in a focused, person-led way. Maureen welcomes conversations about specific needs and goals.

People usually find Maureen's style calm and practical. She works together with each person to set goals and try approaches that fit their life. To start, clients complete a short matching form and then arrange times that suit them.

Working online with a clear therapeutic approach

Maureen uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy means the session is led by what matters to the person, with the counsellor offering understanding and steady support. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours using practical exercises and experiments to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and building on what is already working in someone's life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Maureen will work collaboratively to find which methods fit the person's goals, preferences and day-to-day life. She will suggest approaches, review how they go, and adapt plans as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins work well when schedules are tight, while others prefer longer conversations to unpack bigger issues. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
