Marie Reid, BACP

Marie Reid practices from a client-focused perspective that centres the person's own story and strengths. She works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and anxiety. Marie holds BACP, which is shown as her professional credential, and she has three years of clinical experience.

Marie believes clients are the experts in their own lives. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person seeking help. From there she uses straightforward techniques to help set small, achievable goals and build on existing strengths.

Her background includes supporting people through big life changes, grief and stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as sleeping problems, career uncertainty and communication difficulties. This range means she often helps people connect day-to-day struggles with longer patterns in their relationships and choices.

Marie draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape her work. That means sessions can include open listening, exploring personal stories, and practical steps to try between meetings.

How Marie’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's experience back to them. It helps people feel heard and can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change and build motivation in small steps. It is often used when someone is managing addictions or trying to change habits that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That decision is made collaboratively rather than imposed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, study or caring duties and making it easier to continue regular meetings when life is busy. If you plan to use online appointments, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions save travel time and make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings.
