About Margaret

Margaret Finnegan is a qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor with five years of professional experience supporting people both one-to-one and in group settings to promote mental health awareness. She combines practical therapeutic skills with lived experience as a mature woman, which informs a compassionate and empathetic approach to the issues clients bring.

Margaret helps clients navigate their thoughts and feelings and pays close attention to the connection between mind and body. She aims to make clients more aware of how those connections influence mood, behaviour, and relationships, and to support them in developing clearer ways of managing difficult emotions.

To strengthen her clinical toolkit she is starting the CPCAB Level 5 Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Diploma in September. She also holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Margaret works in English and offers therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, tailoring her approach to each person she sees.

Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Challenges

Margaret uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as core ways of working. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports their self-discovery - this approach can be helpful for issues involving self-esteem, shame, and emotional processing. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Margaret works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches to suit individual circumstances and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Margaret is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access registered professionals without needing to travel and can help people maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
