About Maureen
Maureen Conboy works on anxiety, depression, stress and related emotional issues using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience.
Maureen uses clear, practical techniques from CBT to help people manage worrying thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. She combines this with client-centred counselling, which means conversations focus on the person's concerns and priorities. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals and notice what changes work.
Sessions usually involve talking through recent problems and trying simple exercises together. Maureen will suggest practical strategies such as breaking down tasks, testing unhelpful beliefs, or planning small behavioural steps. Work is paced to suit the person and their current situation.
She helps with a wide range of issues including low self-esteem, sleeping difficulties, anger, relationship strain, coping with life changes, and concerns linked to LGBT identity. Additional areas listed include anxiety subtypes, obsessions and compulsions, self-harm thoughts, isolation and women's issues.
Maureen practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. People from other countries may be able to take sessions, so confirm international appointments when arranging a first meeting.
To begin, people are invited to use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session where practical steps and goals are agreed.
How Maureen uses CBT and client‑centred work online
Maureen draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred counselling when working with people remotely. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Client-centred therapy places the person's concerns at the heart of the session and supports them to set their own priorities and pace.
She also uses solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals and notice what is already working. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process: the counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not listed here, so check the available options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or making it simpler to attend from another location. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use practical exercises, thought records and goal-setting in remote sessions to support progress.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
