Background and approach

She supports those managing career stress, compassion fatigue and the emotional effects of long-term conditions. Her approach focuses on listening closely and reflecting what clients say. Sessions are paced to suit each person so they can explore feelings without pressure.

Over time this can help people notice patterns and try new ways of thinking and relating. Marie has worked with adults and young people in the United Kingdom across a wide range of difficulties. Her experience includes supporting people after domestic and sexual abuse, coping with self-harm thoughts, and addressing anger and PTSD-related difficulties.

She brings practical attention to everyday challenges as well as deeper emotional wounds. People who choose her practice will find straightforward, gentle support aimed at building resilience. Conversations in sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make daily life more manageable.

The emphasis is on helping clients reclaim a sense of control and hope.

Person-centred support online and how it helps

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. The therapist reflects what you say and helps you make sense of feelings. This style suits people dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, grief and the aftermath of trauma because it creates space to talk without judgement.

That same gentle, listening-based approach works well in online sessions. The therapist and client together decide what feels most useful - whether to focus on immediate coping strategies, patterns in mood and behaviour, or deeper emotional material. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be shaped by your needs, goals and preferences in collaborative conversations.

Marie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets you maintain a face-to-face feeling, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier when moving around, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and situations.
