Maureen Conboy
Practical support for anxiety and life change
About Maureen
Maureen Conboy offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, stress or relationship strain. She is straightforward and warm, and aims to help clients find tools that fit their everyday life. Maureen is identified by her BACP credential, which is shown as BACP for short.
She uses a client-centred outlook, so sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting opposite her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolkit when people want clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
Solution-Focused Therapy is used when people want to set short-term goals and try small experiments between sessions. Maureen often helps people who struggle with sleep problems, anger, panic, social anxiety and the low self-worth that follows long-term stress. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, separation and issues related to ageing or isolation.
LGBT and women's issues are included among the concerns she addresses. Her practice combines practical strategies and listening. Sessions look at everyday habits, coping skills and simple changes to test between meetings.
Maureen aims for a collaborative pace so people can move forward while feeling understood. She works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and can work with international clients. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and arrangements are made after completing a short matching questionnaire.

How Maureen’s approaches work online
Maureen blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques to support people remotely. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation follows the person's pace and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting back what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviours and then trying practical steps to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and testing short experiments between sessions to build momentum.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maureen will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as work progresses so changes can be made when needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep a sense of connection, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for shorter updates, faster scheduling or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, travel or different time zones, and allow a range of ways to try the therapeutic tools discussed in sessions.
