About Maz
Maz Callaghan is a psychotherapist and counsellor who offers listening and practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, family strain and parenting pressures. Maz aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can pause, think and make sense of difficult moments.
Maz works online and uses an integrative approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Early sessions focus on building trust and checking that the therapist and client are a good fit. Sessions are collaborative rather than directive - Maz does not try to 'fix' someone but helps them notice patterns and explore options. People come with many problems - stress, sleep and eating concerns, relationship worries, anger, career questions or compassion fatigue from caregiving.
Maz listens for the issues behind the immediate crisis and helps people find manageable next steps. She also supports those coping with attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, phobias and panic attacks. With four years of experience and the NCPS credential, Maz offers practical, down-to-earth support.
She encourages small, do-able changes and experiments between sessions. Progress is measured in clearer choices, reduced overwhelm, or increased ability to cope, depending on the person’s goals. Sessions run Monday to Wednesday, 9am to 3pm, and are offered in English from the United Kingdom.
Reaching out is presented as the first step and Maz invites people to see if they feel the right fit before committing to more sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Maz uses an integrative approach which means she draws on a few evidence-based techniques suited to the person in front of her. One common method focuses on understanding patterns - noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going and trying small experiments to shift them. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, panic and unhelpful routines.Another useful technique she uses is grounded emotional processing. That involves making space to name and sit with strong feelings safely, then finding practical steps to reduce their impact. This can be helpful after bereavement, trauma or during relationship and attachment struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maz treats it as a collaborative process and will check in about what feels useful. Together they agree aims and try methods that match the person’s goals and preferences, adjusting as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can fit short check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping continuity across appointments.
