Mary Weavers, BACP

Mary Weavers is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and brings six years of professional counselling experience. Mary draws on a wide life experience from living in several countries to connect with people. She aims to make first steps easier for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Mary listens without judgement and encourages straightforward conversation. She focuses on the issues people commonly bring - stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Practical day-to-day coping is part of her work, alongside talking through feelings around grief, loss and transitions.

Her additional focus areas include concerns linked to cancer, chronic pain, long-term illness and disability. She also helps people facing divorce or separation, fertility struggles, and the sense of emptiness that can follow big life shifts. Workplace pressures and issues affecting women are also areas she addresses.

Mary’s international upbringing and time living in Hong Kong and Botswana inform her awareness of multicultural concerns. That background supports a respectful approach to different cultural perspectives and personal stories. She aims to meet each person where they are.

Sessions are aimed at creating a calm space for reflection and practical problem solving. Mary works with each person to set simple goals and to build steps that fit their life. She offers steady support through difficult periods, including end-of-life and hospice-related concerns.

Person-centred care and online support

Mary works from a person-centred perspective that places the client's experience at the heart of therapy. This approach involves attentive listening, non-judgemental reflection and helping people to find their own solutions; it is well suited to concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions.

Her international background also feeds into a culturally aware stance that notices how personal history and context shape difficulties. This can help when discussing grief, chronic illness, workplace stress or the emotional impact of fertility and family changes. Mary collaborates with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful for their situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and day-to-day challenges, and then tailor sessions to match what the person needs. Decisions about focus and pace are made jointly, so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels simpler. These options make counselling easier to fit around work, treatment schedules or busy home life.
