Mary Mcilroy

Welcome! I am an Accredited counsellor with over two decades expertise and specialised training in areas such as Anxiety and Relationship Counselling. I help manage painful experiences such as, loss, loneliness, career and Health issues. We work through uncomfortable feelings, examine new ways of being, and learn skills to achieve confidence, peace, and relationship healing. MY Approach is Psychosynthesis with other techniques used as needed. If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or undecided, maybe you’ve considered therapy but are anxious about talking to someone - I invite you to take a chance and begin the journey. My job is to help you see all possible options and support you in creating the future you desire. I have treated clients suffering from a multitude of issues including Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Relationship issues, loneliness and more. My goal is to help you build healthier boundaries, Confidence, greater self-trust, and more authentic relationships. I invite you do never hesitate, you are free to bring up any concerns about the therapy process during our consultation. Do you find yourself constantly putting others' needs before your own? Maybe you struggle to say 'No', doubt your decisions, or feel guilty when you prioritise yourself? Many of my clients grew up in homes where their emotional needs were overlooked, minimised, or unmet. As adults, they often become people-pleasers, perfectionists, caretakers, or chronic self-doubters. Together, we'll explore the patterns that now keep you stuck. I work to develop a unique treatment plan, tailored to your specific needs. We will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you, where you may open up about topics that are usually kept private. My hope for my clients is that when they complete treatment, they have a better understanding of themselves, develop new strengths, manage their emotions and leave with solutions and new goals. At the end of therapy, my clients tend to feel empowered and equipped with a toolbox of techniques that help take on and manage life stresses.
