Marie Jones, BACP

Marie Jones has worked in mental health roles for more than 25 years and has been a qualified therapist for over 10 years. She is a BACP counsellor who draws on wide professional and life experience when supporting people. Marie aims to offer a listening space where people feel understood and not judged.

Marie practises from a humanistic, integrative stance and uses a range of approaches to suit each person. She has substantial experience in complex trauma linked to childhood abuse, and she also helps with depression, anxiety, low self-worth and grief. She works with concerns that affect day-to-day life, relationships and work.

In sessions she focuses on helping people talk through what matters to them and on building practical coping strategies. The emphasis is on understanding personal history, current difficulties and the changes someone wants to make. Marie seeks to create a steady, respectful atmosphere for that work.

Alongside trauma and mood concerns she supports people facing addictions, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges and anger. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and body image difficulties.

Her approach can include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural methods, mindfulness and elements of existential and Imago relationship work. Marie matches the approach to each person and moves at a pace they can manage. If therapy feels like the right next step she asks people to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, emphasising empathy and listening to help people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change. It suits worries about self-worth, grief, relationships and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practical steps to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating and sleeping problems and for building coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie uses conversation and simple exercises to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She adapts pacing and techniques based on how someone responds, keeping the process collaborative and grounded in everyday concerns.

Practical benefits of online therapy mean it can fit around work, family commitments and other routines. Online sessions can reduce travel time, make it easier to keep regular appointments and allow a quicker check-in when life gets busy.
