About Marie

Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure which way to turn. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. The first aim is to help people find a little more clarity and direction, and to build inner resources that support change or acceptance.

Marie bases her work on a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel able to share at their own pace.

Background and approach

She allows time for the process to unfold and does not rush people into talking before they feel ready. That steady approach is intended to help people gain confidence and a better sense of what they want moving forward. She describes herself as an integrative counsellor, bringing together several ways of working to suit each person.

That variety makes it easier to try different ideas in sessions and to see which ones help most. Sessions are practical and grounded, aiming to deepen self-understanding and everyday coping skills. With ten years of experience, Marie works from the United Kingdom and records membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She offers appointments in English using a range of online formats to fit different needs. People come to her for many issues including stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD and career questions. Her approach is adaptable and focused on helping each person take the next steps that matter to them.

Practical approaches for online counselling

Marie describes herself as an integrative counsellor and draws on evidence-based techniques to suit each person. She commonly uses person-centred ways of working which focus on listening closely and helping people make sense of their own thoughts and feelings, useful for low mood, anxiety and stress. She also uses problem-focused techniques that help identify practical steps and coping strategies to manage daily pressures and difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss different ways of working with the client and agree together which methods to try, adjusting them over time to match the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative stance aims to keep sessions relevant and useful.

Online therapy here is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or who need flexible timing. These options make counselling easier to fit around work, family and day-to-day life and let people choose what works best for them.
