About Marie
Marie Reid works from a person-focused approach that centres the client's perspective. She uses conversational, goal-oriented methods to help people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to make that first step feel manageable.
With three years of professional experience, Marie draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to listen and build on each person's strengths. She also uses Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and identify practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions usually begin with simple conversation about what matters most right now. Marie helps people name priorities, set realistic goals and take small steps that fit into everyday life. She keeps language plain and avoids jargon so progress feels clear.
Her work covers concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem and sleeping problems, plus practical issues like career strain, communication problems and coping with major life changes. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, bereavement and health-related challenges. Marie is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She offers sessions in English and can work with international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire to be paired and then schedule sessions based on availability.
