Marie Jones

Marie Jones is a counsellor with a BACP credential and more than 10 years as a qualified therapist. She brings over 25 years of earlier experience in mental health to her counselling work. Marie aims to help people unpack problems that affect daily life, work and relationships in a calm, non-judgemental way. She describes listening and understanding as central to her practice.

Marie practises from a humanistic, integrative perspective. That means she draws on different methods to match each person’s needs rather than following one fixed programme. She often supports people managing anxiety, stress, depression, grief and anger, and helps with issues linked to trauma and childhood abuse.

Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the client and developing practical coping strategies. Cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness tools are sometimes used to help change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. Imago relationship ideas and existential conversations may also appear when relationship meaning or life purpose are central concerns.

Marie has experience supporting people with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic illness and caring responsibilities. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, attachment and codependency, and compassion fatigue. Her background gives her familiarity with both complex and everyday problems.

People who choose Marie can expect a steady, person-focused pace. She works collaboratively and tailors sessions to what feels most useful for each person. To begin, clients follow the service’s sign-up steps and arrange sessions according to availability.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Marie often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring feelings that affect everyday life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage anger and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That partnership helps make sure the style of therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also make sessions possible when someone is managing health conditions or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, will discuss the practical details so you can pick what works best for your routine and goals.
