About Margaret

Margaret Booth works with stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, depression and life changes using person-centred dialogue and structured approaches such as cognitive behavioural and acceptance and commitment therapy. She is registered with the NCPS and has 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Margaret frames sessions around what a person brings to the room. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and help people clarify their concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to low mood or anxiety.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) inform practical exercises she offers. These approaches add techniques for managing difficult thoughts and building more flexible responses to stress. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Margaret works with people on problems such as addictions, relationships, parenting stress, career pressures, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with trauma and intimacy-related issues and people living with bipolar challenges.

Her practice aims to help clients make manageable changes between sessions. People can expect clear suggestions, exercises to try, and a plan for what to work on next. Booking begins via the site matching process and a first session is scheduled after the initial questionnaire.

How Margaret uses specific approaches in online sessions

Margaret commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on taking actions that match their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain low mood or worry, and then practices alternative responses. CBT works well for depression, sleep problems and some anxiety presentations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Margaret will talk through what feels most helpful, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. This is a collaborative process that focuses on the client’s goals.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose sessions that suit their daily routine, such as fitting a break at work or avoiding a commute.
