About Maureen
Maureen Conboy is a counsellor who helps people find calmer ways of living when stress, anxiety or low mood make daily life hard. She uses straight talk and practical techniques so clients can try changes between sessions. Maureen draws on eight years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as the professional framework for her work.
She focuses on common problems such as panic and phobias, sleep difficulties, anger and relationship strain.
Background and approach
Maureen also supports people dealing with self-esteem concerns, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety and life transitions such as divorce or bereavement. She also pays attention to issues that can come with ageing and isolation. In sessions she offers a client-centred style that listens first and tailors the plan to each person.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is a regular tool in her work; it breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and to track progress. Maureen tends to keep sessions practical.
People can expect to leave with simple exercises to use between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match the person’s needs and energy. She works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues and women’s health matters.
Sessions are offered in English and available to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats.
How Maureen’s approaches fit with online therapy
Maureen commonly blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to structure online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard before moving to tasks. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks worries and habits into steps and uses short exercises to change patterns between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what has worked in the past, then suggest ways to try different strategies and review progress. This makes the work collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client read each other’s expressions and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflections or regular, brief support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family life.
