About Marie
Marie Reid is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression, as well as stress, anxiety and life changes.
Marie treats people as experts in their own stories. She uses a conversational, person-focused way of working that looks for strengths a client already has. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through what feels stuck and to find practical next steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with a range of concerns linked to family life, grief, intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with sleeping problems, career stress and issues connected to adoption or foster care. Marie brings three years of direct practice to these areas and draws on methods that encourage reflection and small changes.
In sessions she often focuses on how past experiences shape current feelings. That can include exploring attachment patterns, communication problems, and responses to loss or separation. She aims to help people notice patterns and consider alternative ways of responding.
Marie uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to guide conversations. People who want to start are invited to use the online matching and scheduling tools to choose an initial appointment and share a short summary of what they want to work on.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's point of view. The counsellor reflects what they hear and encourages the client to find their own solutions, which can help when someone feels weighed down by guilt or shame.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking about change. It helps people weigh their own reasons for change and build small steps forward, often useful for addictions or when motivation feels unclear.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals and preferences, and they will try ways of working that fit the person's needs. That collaboration guides whether to focus on current coping strategies, past stories, or steps for change.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to keep continuity of care and to make therapy more accessible for people juggling work, family or health commitments.
