About Jean-Marie
Jean-Marie Lawrence is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people take the first steps when life feels overwhelming. She presents a calm, approachable presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, loss and big life changes. Jean-Marie holds NCPS as a listed credential and practises from the United Kingdom.
Her sessions aim to be warm and respectful. She works collaboratively so each person can find what fits them. Conversations focus on practical ways to cope, clearer thinking about next steps, and rebuilding strength after difficult events.
Background and approach
Jean-Marie uses a blend of methods rather than a single technique. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.
Client-centred principles guide a non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace. She has five years of experience working with concerns such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and eating difficulties. That experience also includes supporting people with self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
People can expect straightforward, empathetic conversations that focus on what matters to them. Sessions explore small, achievable changes alongside longer-term goals. The emphasis is on helping people find practical tools and clearer perspective to move forward.
How Jean-Marie’s approaches work online
Jean-Marie uses client-centred work to create a space where the person sets the pace and feels heard. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters most so they can choose the next steps.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. That helps when anxiety or stress leads to unhelpful thinking patterns, and it supports practical exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jean-Marie will work together with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as the work unfolds.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues when discussing sensitive material. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins and timely reflections between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different schedules and locations.
