About Mary
Mary Hollow is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 23 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. Her practice also addresses addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and self-esteem concerns.
Mary uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as core ways of working. In sessions she talks through current problems, helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck, and supports practical steps people can try between meetings. She focuses on clear, straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon.
People come to her for a range of worries, from work and career uncertainty to social anxiety and problems with communication. She can help those dealing with first responder issues, post-traumatic stress and strong feelings of guilt or shame. Life purpose is one named area she works with when clients question what comes next.
Her approach mixes listening with practical techniques. That might include checking thought patterns, testing small behavioural changes, and reflecting on values and priorities. Sessions aim to be direct and useful for everyday life.
Mary accepts clients from the UK and internationally. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. To start, prospective clients use the platform’s matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful for people who need space to make sense of big life changes and personal priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, social fears and managing stressful reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the mix of listening and practical techniques accordingly. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.
The therapist accepts international clients but the original biography does not list explicit session formats. Please confirm which online session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support consistent progress without requiring clients to rearrange long parts of their day.
