Marie Jones , BACP

Marie Jones is a qualified humanistic integrative counsellor with over 10 years of professional therapeutic experience and more than 25 years working in the wider field of mental health. Her long-standing career combines formal training and extensive practical work, creating a compassionate, informed approach to supporting people through difficult life events.

Her clinical background includes focused training and experience in complex trauma arising from childhood abuse, alongside work with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, grief and other related life challenges. This practical and lived experience informs the way she works, helping to shape interventions that are responsive to each person's history and current circumstances.

Marie emphasises the importance of a collaborative, non-judgemental relationship in therapy - a space where people can explore and process the issues they bring, develop practical coping strategies and feel genuinely heard and understood. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings an integrative, human-centred stance to her clinical practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person's own experience and capacity for growth. The therapist provides empathetic listening and supports clients to explore feelings and values, which can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical tools and structured techniques that can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and help people develop clearer coping strategies.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience. Simple grounding and attention practices can reduce reactivity, support emotional regulation and complement other therapeutic work for trauma or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals and therapists when appropriate to determine which methods best match a person's needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making support more accessible for different schedules and circumstances. These formats allow consistent therapeutic contact and practical continuity of care while enabling clients to work from locations that suit them.
