Marie Reid, BACP

Marie Reid offers a warm, person-centred approach to therapy grounded in respect for the client's own knowledge of their life. She holds a BACP credential and has three years of professional experience working with a range of concerns. Marie emphasises small, steady steps and practical choices, rather than rushed solutions. Her practice focuses on addiction and substance concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem and problems with sleep. Practical issues such as career strain, communication problems and intimacy-related questions are part of her work too. Marie uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s lead and help them build on their strengths. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term, realistic goals. Sessions typically concentrate on what people want to change now and how to take manageable steps towards that. Conversations aim to be straightforward and respectful, with attention to practical coping tools. Marie welcomes people from different countries and works in English. To get started, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and pricing varies with location and therapist availability.

How Marie’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience first. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client. This style helps when someone wants space to make sense of their feelings and to set their own pace for change.

Motivational interviewing focuses on helping people find reasons to change and strengthening their own motivation. It is useful for addictions, substance concerns and any area where someone feels stuck about making a decision.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult stories and find alternative ways of seeing their life. It can be helpful for trauma, low self-esteem and for reframing long-standing patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marie will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-off decision.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a therapist in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere, provided they arrange sessions in English.
