About Margaret
Margaret Booth has worked as a counsellor for 14 years. She practises in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and low self esteem.
Her style is respectful and down to earth. She aims to be sensitive and compassionate during sessions. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.
Margaret uses a mix of well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas.
How Margaret works
She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to explore how relationships and personal history affect current problems. In practical terms she helps people manage depression, cope with life changes, and work through issues such as addiction, anger and career worries.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, bipolar mood issues and compassion fatigue. Margaret encourages small, realistic steps and values collaboration. Sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve and on building tools they can use outside therapy.
She aims to make the process feel manageable for people who are nervous about taking the first step. For those who prefer a flexible format she offers a range of online session types and will help identify which format and therapeutic approach best fit the person's situation.

Online support options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleeping or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That means sessions can mix approaches and change as progress is made, keeping the plan relevant to what the person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering different practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and to continue progress even when routines change.
