About Margaret
Margaret Booth is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her approach aims to be respectful and compassionate while focusing on each person's needs.
She tailors conversations and care to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. Practical tools and gentle reflection are used together so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Margaret combines Client-Centred Therapy with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns and how these affect day-to-day life. These methods are chosen to match each person’s concerns and goals.
People often come for help with relationships, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, or problems at work. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction and compassion fatigue. Margaret aims to create a space where people feel heard and can practise changes at a steady pace.
If someone is unsure how to begin, she advises a short match process to identify priorities and plan next steps. This helps set clear, achievable goals and makes appointments easier to arrange around daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy asks the therapist to follow the person’s lead and offer acceptance, warmth and genuine listening so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. It is useful for people who need a supportive space to talk through feelings and choices.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn values-driven actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by teaching practical exercises to increase psychological flexibility.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses simple strategies to test and change patterns. It can help with mood, sleep, worry and many everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences, then agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and can suit people who prefer not to be on camera every time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools like worksheets and behavioural experiments to work in a remote setting, helping clients practise skills between meetings.
