Margaret Booth, NCPS

Margaret Booth is a counsellor with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. She focuses on building an encouraging space where people can take the first steps toward change.

Margaret helps people who are facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges with motivation. She also supports those managing relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, anger, career decisions and bipolar symptoms. Compassion fatigue is another area she addresses.

Her work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based methods, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. In sessions she listens first, then shapes practical tools and steps together with the client. The emphasis is on simple strategies people can use between appointments.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Margaret aims to help people notice patterns, try new responses and build routines that support daily life. She seeks to make therapy useful and achievable for people juggling work, family and other demands.

If you want to start, the usual route is to complete an initial questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and living with difficult feelings. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most usable, and then try methods that fit each person's needs. This is a joint process with room to adjust as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between sessions, and keeps the focus on learning small, practical steps that can be used day to day.
