Mary Harrington , BACP

Mary Harrington is a UK qualified therapeutic counsellor who brings five years of professional counselling experience and a focused specialism in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She works in an integrative way, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and CBT so that each plan is tailored to the individual needs and goals of the person she is supporting. Her approach is practical and empathetic, helping clients address challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, addictions and phobias.

Mary also has two decades of experience working with and supporting young people with ADHD and autism, and she applies that background to better understand the specific needs of neurodiverse clients. She aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space and treats people with sensitivity, respect and compassion while supporting change and personal growth.

Mary is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She is available for sessions on Fridays and monitors messages several times a day, with typical responses between 6 and 8 pm Monday to Friday. On weekends she may be resting or undertaking training and will reply when she is able to, so clients should not interpret a delayed response as being ignored.
