About Marie

Marie Reid offers a person-centred approach that puts each person's experience at the heart of therapy. She uses the client's own strengths and perspectives as the starting point for conversations about change. Marie writes in clear, simple language and focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions.

She helps people who are managing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sleep and rest concerns are part of her practice, along with stress, anxiety and self-esteem issues. Marie also supports people facing grief, career pressures and life transitions.

Her background includes three years of professional experience working with a wide range of issues. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That registration reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom.

In sessions she draws on client-centred talking, motivational interviewing to support change, and narrative and solution-focused techniques to clarify goals. Conversations tend to be direct and down to earth, with an emphasis on what the person wants to try next.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary depending on location and scheduling.

Approach-driven online counselling and practical support

Marie often draws on client-centred counselling, which means conversations are led by what matters most to the person and the therapist listens for strengths and priorities. This approach helps when people feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.

She also uses motivational interviewing, a way of talking that helps people weigh options and build the motivation to make changes. This method is helpful for tackling behaviours such as substance use or for starting new habits that improve sleep and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people also find it simple to continue continuity of care if they are travelling or living abroad.
