About Marie
Marie Jones is a counsellor with ten years' experience in direct therapeutic work. She draws on over 25 years in mental health to shape a practical, down-to-earth approach. Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and low self-worth.
She also supports those facing parenting challenges and relationship or intimacy concerns. Marie uses simple, clear methods in sessions so people can start to notice change quickly.
Background and approach
She listens first and then works with each person to build coping skills and clearer thinking. Her style is warm and human, aiming to make people feel heard and understood without judgement. Her background includes a lot of work with complex trauma arising from childhood abuse, alongside long experience supporting depression and anxiety.
That mix of clinical and life experience informs how she responds to difficult or layered problems. She draws on a range of therapeutic ideas rather than a single set of techniques. Sessions are offered in English and take place within a structure chosen with the person seeking help.
Marie recognises that practical pressures make therapy challenging, so she aims for straightforward goals and manageable steps. The focus is on improving day-to-day coping and relationships, and on restoring a sense of control over life. People who come to her often want a calm, steady presence and clear tools to use between sessions.
She works collaboratively to set goals, and to adapt pace and methods to what feels most useful for each person.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. It focuses on being listened to and understood, and it helps people explore feelings and priorities at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises for managing anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach usually happens together. The counsellor will talk about options and try methods that suit the person's goals and temperament. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or as new issues arise.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video call sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
