Mary Goggin , NCPS

Mary Goggin is a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor who draws on both professional skill and life experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and a range of life changes.

She may share information or gently prompt reflections to open new ways of thinking, and she works collaboratively with clients to set clear goals, monitor progress, and address obstacles as they arise. Her practice places emphasis on understanding the roots of distress and building new habits that support enjoyment of life and clearer decision making.

She also serves as a director of I’m all ears Community Interest Company, which provides free or low-cost services to a local community.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Mary Goggin

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that align with their values. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions by emphasizing flexibility and purposeful behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve relationship and daily functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured ways to process distressing memories and reduce the ways trauma affects current life, supporting recovery from abuse, loss, or other traumatic experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Mary will collaborate with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she will adapt methods as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer greater scheduling flexibility and make it easier for people to access therapy from home or while balancing work and family. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide the same therapeutic techniques through these formats, allowing clients to continue work toward their goals in ways that fit their daily life.
