About Marie
Marie Reid is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and addictions. Marie describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on what people already do well.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns that cause them distress. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and on clarifying what the client wants to change. Marie draws on client-centred methods to listen without judgement and to follow the person’s priorities.
Motivational interviewing informs her work when people want to shift habits such as substance use or other addictive behaviours. That approach helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change. Narrative ideas are used to separate the person from the problem and to rewrite limiting stories that get in the way.
Marie supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, career stress and challenges around intimacy and attachment. She also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns and caring for someone with cancer. Conversations include setting small goals and checking what is realistic for each person.
Her style is practical and collaborative. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Marie accepts international clients and holds her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
How Marie uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says so they can spot their own priorities and decide what to change. It suits people who want to be heard and to build confidence in making decisions about relationships, anxiety or life changes.Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about changing a habit or behaviour. It uses short conversations to weigh pros and cons and to find personal reasons to move forward, which can be useful for addictions and behaviour change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a plan together. The choice of methods can change as progress is made, and the person’s feedback shapes each step.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support longer conversations when there is time for a full session. Registered or accredited professionals like Marie aim to match the approach and scheduling to what works best for each person.
