About Marie

Marie Jones is a BACP counsellor with ten years of professional practice in the UK. She previously worked in mental health for more than 25 years, and that experience shapes how she helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and anger.

Marie works in a humanistic, integrative way. She listens and helps people talk through what they are facing. That includes relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with career strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and life changes.

Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Mindfulness skills are taught to help with overwhelming feelings and to find steadier moments in the day.

Marie has particular experience with complex trauma from childhood abuse and long-term mental health work. She helps people develop coping strategies, manage anger, and rebuild confidence after traumatic experiences. Her work also covers attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and communication problems.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. People are invited to set goals and try out new ways of responding to stress and conflict. Marie encourages practical tools alongside reflective conversations to make progress in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Marie combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and elements of existential thinking. Client-centred therapy means she focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them lead the pace of the work. CBT offers concrete tools to identify stressful thought patterns and try small behavioural changes that can reduce anger and anxiety. Existential ideas help people name values and make practical choices when life feels uncertain or stuck.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. Marie works collaboratively to identify what fits best based on a person’s goals, current difficulties, and preferences. That may mean mixing listening with skills work, or focusing on meaning and decisions when life changes are central concerns.

The options for online sessions should be confirmed before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into their week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel on busy days. Discussing practical arrangements with Marie will help choose a way of meeting that fits day-to-day life.
