Maureen Conboy, BACP

Maureen Conboy is a dedicated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy practitioner who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress and related emotional difficulties. She combines a compassionate, client-centred stance with practical, evidence-informed CBT techniques, tailoring each plan to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her work emphasises building everyday skills and strategies that promote resilience and gradual, sustainable change.

With eight years of clinical experience, Maureen creates a collaborative, non-judgmental space where clients can explore obstacles and experiment with new ways of coping. She aims to empower people to identify unhelpful patterns, set realistic goals and practise techniques that fit their lives. Maureen is affiliated with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her approach is practical, person-focused and aimed at helping clients regain a sense of control and well-being.

Approaches Used Online and What to Expect

Maureen uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting, empathic environment where the client’s own perspective guides the pace and focus of work. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem and a stronger therapeutic relationship.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and sleep-related concerns because it provides clear strategies and homework to practise between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another component of her practice, concentrating on strengths, small achievable steps and what is working now. This brief, goal-oriented approach can be useful when clients want practical, forward-looking change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maureen works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts her style as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Maureen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access registered professionals from different locations and to continue therapy when life or travel makes in-person meetings difficult.
