About Mary
Mary Weavers is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings six years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. Mary writes in a warm, direct way and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried people seeking change.
Mary grew up partly in the United States and has lived in Hong Kong, Botswana and England over the last 30 years.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped how she connects with people from different backgrounds. She says this perspective helps her understand issues that come from cultural differences and major life changes. In sessions she focuses on listening and building trust.
Conversations are guided by the client’s everyday concerns. She helps people talk through grief, loss and separation, fertility and women's issues, and the strain of chronic illness or pain. Mary also works with worries about self-esteem, depression, workplace stress and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Practical coping strategies and small, achievable goals are used alongside reflective discussion. Sessions aim to be straightforward, calm and respectful. Her approach suits people who want a compassionate, non-judgemental listener and a collaborator for change.
She encourages slow steady progress and supports people as they try new ways of managing emotions and relationships. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule. Mary offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives.

Client-centred care online and what to expect
Mary practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The counsellor provides acceptance and reflection so clients can clarify their own thoughts and feelings; this approach is often helpful for grief, low self-esteem and stress.She places emphasis on practical conversation about everyday problems, combining empathic listening with simple coping steps. That style supports people facing chronic illness, workplace stress, relationship separation, fertility concerns and major life transitions. Sessions aim to help clients notice small changes and set realistic goals.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt how sessions run to fit the person. This collaborative planning means approaches can shift as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation, phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, medical appointments and family commitments, and let people choose what feels most comfortable for them.
