Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas are used where thinking patterns and habits need to change. Marie has worked with complex trauma from childhood abuse and with common concerns such as low self-worth, grief, and anxiety. That background shapes how she supports people who have found their day-to-day life or relationships affected by these issues.

She also addresses problems like addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic health concerns, and caregiving stress. Sessions are practical and grounded. Conversations may include noticing bodily reactions, looking at unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.

The focus is on what helps someone cope better and feel more in control. Clients who value calm, steady support and a tailored mix of talking and body-focused work often find her approach helpful. Marie works in the United Kingdom and carries the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation BACP.

How her approaches work online and in session

Marie blends somatic work and person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural ideas to support practical change. Somatic Therapy encourages people to notice bodily sensations linked to stress and past events, which can help with trauma, anxiety and chronic pain. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood without judgement, helping people explore their feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and tries simple experiments to shift them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and will adjust methods as understanding grows. That makes the process collaborative and tailored rather than fixed from the start.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days or offer a gentler way to communicate. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different ways of working together.
