About Marie

Marie Jones works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression using a humanistic integrative approach. She combines client-centred ways of working with practical techniques to help people talk through difficult experiences and build coping strategies. Marie is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has ten years' experience as a qualified counsellor.

She spent more than 25 years in mental health roles before qualifying as a counsellor, and that background informs her practice. Marie has specific experience with complex trauma from childhood abuse, and with problems such as low self-worth, relationship difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues around identity, intimacy, parenting and long-term health concerns.

Sessions usually focus on helping the person describe what is happening now, understand how past experiences matter, and try practical ways to manage symptoms. Marie uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to support grounding and present-moment awareness. She also draws on existential ideas to look at values and life choices.

The counselling style is collaborative and straightforward. Marie helps people set small, realistic goals and reviews progress in each session. Practical resources and exercises may be suggested between meetings to reinforce learning.

How her approaches work in remote counselling

Marie uses client-centred work to focus on the person’s experience and priorities, helping them talk through what matters and decide the focus of sessions. This approach supports issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises for managing anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. CBT is often used when people want structured steps to change patterns of thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and they will agree an approach to try. This is a collaborative process and may involve combining elements from different methods over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and other commitments.
