About Maureen
Maureen Conboy is a counsellor and a member of BACP with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns, among other emotional difficulties. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Maureen uses client-centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. She listens to what matters to the person and then works through small, achievable changes. That often means setting clear goals and trying new ways of thinking or acting to reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Her work covers sleeping problems, anger, coping with life changes and issues affecting women and LGBT people. She also offers support around isolation, grief, obsessions and phobias. Maureen aims to help people develop coping skills and routines that make everyday life feel more manageable.
Sessions include straightforward talk, practical exercises and short tasks to try between meetings. She tailors the balance of conversation and techniques to what each person prefers. This keeps sessions focused on what is useful right now.
Maureen accepts people in the UK and international clients and works in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical arrangements using the site booking steps.
How her approaches shape online counselling
Maureen uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work alongside solution-focused techniques. CBT looks at thought patterns and actions and teaches practical strategies for anxiety, panic, low mood and unwanted behaviours. Client-centred work puts the person's concerns first, with listening and reflection to clarify what matters most. Solution-focused techniques focus on small, realistic steps and measurable goals to change what is happening now.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with the person and agree which methods to try based on their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as saving travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered and accredited professionals often use a mix of talk and practical exercises, which can be adapted to telephone or video sessions if those formats are available.
