About Marie
Marie Reid is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and other common challenges of early adulthood. Her practice is aimed at practical, clear work rather than labels or jargon.
Marie approaches therapy from a client-centred stance, starting from the belief that each person knows their life best. She listens for strengths and for what has helped in the past. Sessions focus on building on those strengths, setting realistic goals, and testing small changes that feel manageable.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support changes around addiction or habits that are hard to shift. This method helps people weigh options and find personal reasons to move forward rather than relying on pressure from others.
Narrative therapy informs her work with relationship and identity concerns. That approach looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape choices and feelings. It can help people who feel stuck by offering new ways to understand their experiences.
Marie has worked with issues common in young adulthood such as career stress, moving through life changes, sleep problems, low self-esteem and grief. Her background includes additional focus areas like adoption and foster care, communication and commitment issues, and drug and alcohol addiction. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. Online sessions using this approach still centre on your experience and strengths, helping you notice what works and what to try next.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore change. Online conversations can be a practical place to weigh options about addictive behaviours or habit shifts and to clarify personal reasons for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together decide whether to focus on exploring your story, building small practical steps, or strengthening motivation to change. That collaborative planning can be revisited as needs shift.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or study, cut commuting time, and choose quieter moments in a day. It can also allow for phone-only check-ins if video is difficult, or shorter sessions for practical problem-solving. Registered or accredited professionals often use these flexible arrangements to fit therapy into everyday life.
