Marie Potter

Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure which way to turn. She invites a calm conversation where clients can talk about stress, anger, parenting pressures or low mood. The aim is to help people find clearer direction, build inner resources and move towards a more positive outlook or acceptance of difficult situations.

Marie works in a warm, trusting way so people feel able to share difficult thoughts and feelings. She gives time and space for each person to open up at their own pace. That slower start is expected and respected rather than rushed.

She practises as an integrative counsellor, which means she draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. Those approaches are used to help people better understand themselves and their behaviour, and to support practical steps for change.

With ten years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Marie combines practical listening with tools to help people cope when life feels hard. Her work has helped people address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addictions and anger among other concerns.

If you are in the United Kingdom and prefer sessions in English, she asks that you follow the site's booking flow to begin. The initial steps let you match with her and schedule sessions when she is available.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Marie describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on evidence-based techniques to suit each person. One common approach she uses is cognitive-based work, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people change patterns that keep them stuck. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and anger management.

She also uses person-centred listening and relational work, which focuses on building a trusting connection and exploring feelings at a comfortable pace. That approach helps when someone needs space to understand grief, relationship strain or compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Sessions start with a conversation about needs, goals and preferences, and the plan is adjusted together as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and fewer journeys to attend appointments.
