Marie Reid, BACP

Marie Reid is a counsellor with three years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult situations. Marie supports people facing issues like addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, depression and stress. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and practical.

Her approach is gentle and focused on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred therapy to listen and follow what matters to the client. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to change habits such as drug or alcohol use. Narrative therapy is used to look at personal stories and reshape how difficult events fit into a life story.

Marie also uses solution-focused techniques to break problems into small, achievable goals. This can suit people who want practical ways to try things between sessions. She regularly works with concerns around grief, sleep, self-esteem and career pressures, and can support people dealing with family and caregiving stress.

Marie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work, with the counsellor listening closely and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to make sense of difficult feelings or life changes.

Motivational interviewing focuses on supporting change by exploring a person's own reasons for wanting different habits. It can be useful for issues such as drug and alcohol use, or when someone feels stuck about making a change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaboration can lead to a plan that mixes listening, story work and small practical steps.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when time is limited, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage.
