About Marie
Marie Jones is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience as a qualified therapist. She previously worked in mental health for over 25 years, and that background shapes how she practises today. She commonly helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions and parenting pressures.
Marie draws on humanistic, integrative ways of working. She focuses on what you bring to sessions and on developing practical coping strategies. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday concerns rather than jargon-filled theory.
People come to her with relationship and intimacy-related issues, family and parenting stress, body image and self-esteem worries, or complex problems linked to past abuse. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, job changes and other life transitions.
Her work uses a mix of client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. She may also use existential ideas and relationship-focused techniques where they fit the problem you want to address. The emphasis is on helping you notice patterns and try manageable changes between sessions.
Marie values clear, steady work in the room. She aims to help people feel understood and to build straightforward ways to manage symptoms and day-to-day strain. If worries at home, at work or in relationships are making life harder, she asks people to begin by describing what they hope will be different.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive, non-directive listening. It helps people feel heard and organised when they are dealing with family strain, grief or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful reactions. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, responsibility and life choices when they face big changes or chronic stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. That way the approach grows out of the client's needs rather than being fixed in advance.
The profile does not specify which online session types are provided, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into daily life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoiding video when someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep regular sessions while managing family and work demands.
