About Margaret

Margaret Booth is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career problems, bipolar condition challenges and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on practical steps and thinking about day-to-day patterns. She adapts what she does to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.

Margaret draws on a mix of approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour strategies. That means there may be attention to values, to how relationships affect feelings, to noticing thoughts and to learning specific skills for intense moments.

People can expect a calm, direct style that balances talking through problems with learning tools to use between sessions. Work might include short exercises, new ways of noticing triggers, and planning for situations where anger or strong emotion builds.

She asks the person to shape the work too, checking progress and adjusting tools as needed. Practical aims often include reducing reactivity, improving communication and finding steadier ways to cope with difficult feelings.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical considerations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and building small actions that match those values. It helps when anger or avoidance gets in the way of the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and current relationships shape emotional responses and can help people understand why certain situations trigger anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will try different tools to see what fits. That collaborative check helps tailor sessions so skills and conversations feel relevant to everyday life.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let someone choose not to use video if they prefer a simpler audio call. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these options to help people practise new skills between meetings and to handle real-time triggers as they arise.
