Marie Reid, BACP

Marie Reid is a counsellor with three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works from a belief that people know their own story and brings a respectful, person-focused stance to sessions. Marie aims to help people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and stays alongside clients as they work through difficult issues.

Marie uses approaches that centre the client's experience and strengths. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and respond to what matters most to the client. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Narrative Therapy supports people who want to reframe their life story and find new meaning.

Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, sleep difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. Additional areas of attention listed by Marie include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and relationship transitions such as divorce and separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Marie accepts international clients. She holds BACP which is listed in her profile. Practical next steps are straightforward: complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Marie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify small, achievable steps and builds on strengths already present in their lives. Her aim is to make therapy understandable and doable for people juggling day-to-day pressures.

How Marie's approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person. The counsellor offers empathy and aims to understand the client's perspective so they can feel heard and clearer about next steps. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps when someone feels unsure about change; it uses gentle questions to uncover what matters and to build readiness to act.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Marie will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as priorities shift or as different challenges come up, and the counsellor will check in regularly to adapt the plan.

For practicalities, the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, medical appointments or caregiving duties, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation will help, or video where seeing facial cues matters, depending on what the client prefers and what is available. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to find a rhythm that suits everyday life.
