About Mary
Mary Foucher is a counsellor who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She uses straightforward conversation to help with self-esteem, motivation and relationship concerns. Mary approaches each person with respect and sensitivity so they feel heard from the first session.
Mary holds a Bachelor of Science 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 people facing grief, depression and parenting pressures. Her background includes supporting those dealing with family conflict and common everyday struggles. In sessions she adapts the pace and focus to what the person needs that week.
Mary draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on a person’s lived experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people notice thinking patterns and try different responses. Expect practical tools and short-term strategies alongside space to talk things through.
Mary explains ideas clearly and breaks larger problems into manageable steps. The goal is to leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings. People who prefer online work can use video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Mary will arrange sessions around what best fits each person’s routine and communication style. If someone wants guidance on next steps, she will help plan them together.

Approaches Mary lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include short exercises, worksheets or brief homework tasks that are discussed in session and practised between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will agree a plan and adjust it as needed so the therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and help people keep continuity when life gets busy.
