About Marie

Marie Jones is a counsellor with a decade of professional practice and over 25 years of earlier work in mental health. She draws on that long experience to help people who are worried about anxiety, stress, depression and related concerns. Marie uses straightforward language and a warm approach so people feel heard and understood.

She focuses on what is happening now and what makes daily life harder. That includes sleep and eating problems, addiction, grief, trauma and low self-worth.

Background and approach

She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Marie combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning, and Imago relationship ideas when relational patterns are a concern.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused while also making space for emotion. Her background includes extensive work with complex trauma, including childhood abuse, and long experience supporting people through chronic illness, caregiving stress, bereavement and attachment-related difficulties. This practical knowledge shapes how she plans therapy and offers coping strategies.

Marie works with adults who want clear steps to manage overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. She encourages small, manageable changes and checks in on progress as therapy continues. If worries are affecting work, family life or wellbeing, she supports people to take the next step into therapy.

How Marie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Marie uses client-centred therapy to make the conversation focus on what matters to the person. That means listening carefully, reflecting back what’s important and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities. Client-centred work is helpful for people who need space to be heard and to build trust with a counsellor.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT gives practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside CBT to help with grounding, managing stress and noticing unhelpful ruminating thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will discuss options and try methods that match the client’s goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what to adjust.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual tools, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and day-to-day commitments.
