About Mary
Mary Lavelle is a counsellor with seven years of direct practice and a background in psychology and mental health. She holds a Degree in Psychology, a Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Mary works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Mary aims to help people facing stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and issues such as sleeping difficulties and anger.
Background and approach
She often addresses career worries, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the everyday challenges of life change. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting that can make daily life easier.
The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming change. Mary offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety helps people fit therapy into busy schedules and differing needs.
People who choose Mary tend to want practical help alongside emotional support. She works collaboratively to set goals and reviews progress as therapy continues. Her aim is to help people build coping skills and create changes that matter to them.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and daily life, then recommend techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made and needs shift over time.
Online therapy allows flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suits people who prefer writing or want smaller, frequent contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping focus on practical, evidence-based steps.
