About Mary
Mary Hollow is a counsellor with a long clinical path in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and brings 23 years of experience supporting people through difficult periods. Her work focuses on clear, respectful conversation and practical steps that fit each person's life.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety in everyday situations. She supports those dealing with grief, depression, and big life changes. Addictions, anger, relationship strain and career anxieties are also within her practice areas.
Mary uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely and be heard. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify thought patterns and try small changes that can reduce distress.
Sessions are tailored to the person rather than to a single technique. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with a focus on what can be done between sessions as well as in them. She aims to make each step manageable and relevant to daily life.
Over time she has worked with a wide range of concerns including post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, first responder issues, and challenges around forgiveness, guilt and shame. People who prefer a calm, steady style and clear next steps will generally find her approach easy to follow.
How Mary uses Client-Centred and CBT online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people can find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building trust, especially when someone is working through grief, shame or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, social phobia and stress-related patterns.
Deciding what will help is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that seem most useful. Sessions can be adjusted as progress is made so the plan remains relevant and workable.
