About Marie
Marie Reid is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to help people make changes. She brings three years of professional experience and focuses on problems such as addiction, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Marie emphasises the client’s own strengths and views each person as the expert on their life.
Her practice aims to make the first steps easier. Sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person. From there she helps set practical, manageable goals and looks for small changes that build over time.
Marie combines client-centred listening with approaches that encourage motivation and new meanings. She may use motivational interviewing when someone wants to change a behaviour. Narrative techniques can help people reframe difficult experiences and reduce their hold on day-to-day life.
People come with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, grief, sleep problems and low self-esteem. There is also a focus on adoption and foster care related issues alongside family and parenting stressors. Marie works with career worries, communication problems and the effects of serious illness or caregiving pressure.
Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she is able to work with people internationally. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Marie’s approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s priorities to build trust and clarity. This approach helps with relationship strain, low mood and self-esteem concerns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on ambivalence and readiness to change. It uses short, practical conversations to strengthen motivation and plan small steps forward. This style is often useful for addictions, lifestyle changes and when someone feels stuck. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She takes a collaborative stance and adapts the way she works as those goals evolve. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care when moving locations or dealing with busy schedules.Areas of expertise
