About Marie
Marie Potter is a counsellor who helps people when life feels overwhelming or unclear. She offers one-to-one sessions for those feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure about their next steps. Her approach aims to help clients find direction, build inner strength, and develop a more positive outlook or acceptance of difficult situations.
Marie focuses on creating a warm, trusting relationship so people feel able to talk about things they may not have shared before.
Background and approach
She recognises that opening up can feel hard at first and allows time for the conversation to unfold at the client’s pace. This steady, patient approach helps people feel understood and heard. Working as an integrative counsellor, Marie draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
She selects ideas and tools that fit each person’s needs, using what’s helpful rather than following a single method. That flexibility aims to deepen self-understanding and support practical change. With ten years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she brings experience working with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Marie also supports people coping with parenting pressures, relationship issues, addiction and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and are provided online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Approaches that guide online counselling
Marie works as an integrative counsellor and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit different needs. One useful approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and then try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxious or low moods. This approach is practical and helps with worry, low mood and stress.She also uses relational, person-centred ideas that focus on building a trusting connection. These techniques concentrate on listening, reflecting and gently challenging, which can help people gain clearer self-understanding and feel more able to make changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when desired, phone sessions can fit a short break or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
