About Mary
Mary Harrington is a BACP counsellor with five years of professional experience. She welcomes people who want practical help with everyday struggles and long-standing difficulties. Her style is warm and non-judgemental and she aims to make first steps feel manageable.
She combines several approaches to suit each person. That means sessions might focus on talking things through, spotting unhelpful thought patterns, or using focused techniques to process painful memories. Hypnotherapy may be used as one option alongside cognitive and psychodynamic tools, depending on what feels right for the person.
Background and approach
Her background includes substantial work supporting people with ADHD and autism-related issues, and with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, career stress and body image or eating issues. These areas are spoken about plainly and without judgement in sessions.
Mary offers a steady, respectful presence and aims to help clients build coping strategies they can use day to day. She explains therapeutic approaches in simple terms and sets collaborative goals with each person. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English.
Practical arrangements such as scheduling are handled through the platform process, with messaging responses typically in the evenings during weekdays.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Mary often blends Hypnotherapy with Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to meet different needs. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access thoughts and habits they want to change; it can be useful for anxiety, sleep or habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s own pace so people feel heard and supported. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches simple skills to manage mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your concerns and goals, try a few techniques, and agree a plan together. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and relevant to your life.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversational work and exercises where seeing each other helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and day-to-day life.
