About Mary
Mary Lavelle BACP counsellor and psychotherapist has seven years' recent practice experience in the United Kingdom. She holds a Degree in Psychology, a Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Her work focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, parenting and family matters, and ADHD-related struggles.
Mary uses practical conversation and evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and make clear changes. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented when that fits, and she also supports people who need space to talk things through at a gentler pace. She clarifies what a person wants to achieve and adapts session focus as needs shift.
Her background spans psychology and psychotherapy study plus several years working across different settings. That mix of academic training and hands-on work informs how she approaches problems like sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Mary draws on cognitive behavioural methods alongside integrative counselling ideas to address thoughts, behaviours and emotions.
People often come for help with life transitions, career questions, or to manage persistent stress and anxiety. She also works with issues linked to identity and LGBT concerns, and with intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions involve discussion, practical coping strategies, and reviewing progress over time.
Mary offers services in English and accepts clients internationally. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session so the initial meeting can focus on priorities and next steps.

How Mary uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Mary lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as part of her approach. Cognitive behavioural methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behaviours; these help with anxiety, sleep problems and anger. Integrative counselling blends different talking approaches to meet immediate needs and long-term goals, useful for relationship, identity and life-change work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and agree on goals and methods together. This collaborative planning helps shape the focus of sessions and which techniques are tried first.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care, adapt exercises for a digital setting, and help people practise coping strategies between meetings.
