About Marie
Marie Jones is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience as a qualified therapist, following more than 25 years working in mental health. She supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and parenting strains.
Marie describes her background as humanistic and integrative. She uses that breadth of experience to help people talk through what is causing them distress and to identify practical steps they can try. Sessions focus on recognising unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing different ways of responding in everyday life.
Her work includes focused approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods, alongside mindfulness and existential ideas. These approaches are used to help people build coping strategies, manage symptoms and make clearer choices about relationships and wellbeing.
Marie has extensive experience with complex trauma linked to childhood abuse, and with longer-term difficulties such as low mood, chronic anxiety and grief. She also supports people facing issues around body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress and life transitions.
Practical steps are a feature of her style. She helps people notice patterns, set small behavioural experiments and review what has changed. The first meetings are used to clarify goals and agree a straightforward plan for subsequent sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Marie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a practical way online, helping people identify thought patterns and run small experiments between sessions to test alternatives. CBT is useful for worries, low mood, sleep and some relationship patterns.She also uses client-centred ideas, which focus on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them. That approach helps with grief, identity questions and building coping strategies. Existential ideas are used to look at values, meaning and choices when people face life changes or persistent unhappiness.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are reviewed and adjusted over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or caregiving commitments around therapy, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer different formats, and Marie will help find an arrangement that fits day-to-day life.
