Margaret Booth

Margaret Booth is a counsellor with NCPS and 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or grief. Margaret aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people who want clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping.

She works in straightforward, person-centred ways and adapts sessions to each person. Margaret draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Conversations are shaped around the client’s goals, not a fixed script.

Sessions often include simple practices to reduce stress, reframe negative thoughts and manage strong emotions. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, addictive patterns, sleep or eating difficulties, and career stress. Anger and compassion fatigue are also areas she helps people work through.

Margaret uses an adaptable, collaborative style. She listens first and then suggests tools people can try between sessions. Progress is usually built one small change at a time, with space to reflect on what helps and what does not.

People who prefer clear, practical steps and a kind, steady presence may find her approach helpful. Before starting, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details when they book.

Approaches suited to online work and managing strong emotions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks you to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match your values. It can help when anxiety, anger or low mood get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and communication skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked before, then try methods that fit the person. That process is collaborative and may adjust over time based on what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets sessions continue if someone moves or has commitments abroad, which is useful for international clients. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions can work for daily life.
