Mary Weavers, BACP

Mary Weavers is a qualified person-centred counsellor (BACP) practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She brings a warm, empathetic presence and practical counselling skills to her work, creating a supportive environment where people can explore difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Born in the UK to American parents and raised largely in the United States, Mary has spent the past 30 years living and working in diverse locations including Hong Kong, Botswana, and England. Those international experiences inform her ability to relate to people from a range of backgrounds and add depth to her approach when supporting clients through life transitions.

Mary specialises in helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges of coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues connected to cancer, chronic pain and illness, fertility concerns, divorce and separation, end-of-life and hospice matters, isolation and loneliness, workplace difficulties, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues. Mary works collaboratively with each person to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space and to support them in taking the brave steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Person-centred approaches and online support

Mary Weavers works from a person-centred framework, which focuses on meeting each person with empathy, genuine respect, and unconditional positive regard. This approach places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist listens actively and reflects back what is heard to help clients gain clarity, build self-awareness, and strengthen their own capacity for change. It can be particularly helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, depression, and navigating major life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Mary collaborates with each client to determine what feels most helpful. She tailors sessions to the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting style and focus as the therapeutic relationship develops so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health challenges. Mary provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere when in-person meetings are not possible.
