Marie Jones, BACP

Marie Jones is a BACP-registered counsellor and a humanistic integrative practitioner with more than 10 years qualified experience and over 25 years working in mental health. Her long career brings together professional training and lived experience to shape a compassionate, practical approach to therapy.

She has undertaken extensive training in complex trauma arising from childhood abuse and regularly supports people facing depression, anxiety, low self-worth, grief and other life challenges. Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, relationship and family issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions. Marie integrates therapeutic tools to help clients process difficult memories, build effective coping strategies and strengthen resilience.

Marie prioritizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship in a non-judgemental space where people feel listened to and understood. She believes effective therapy helps clients explore their concerns, develop practical skills for everyday life and improve relationships and wellbeing. Those whose difficulties are affecting work, relationships or quality of life may find counselling a constructive next step, and Marie offers professional support to guide that process.

Approaches and online support for personal change

Marie combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and existential influences to tailor support to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgemental relationship that helps people explore their feelings at their own pace and is useful for issues like low self-worth, grief and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often helping with anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and personal values, supporting people navigating life changes, identity questions and deeper questions about purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Marie works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time based on progress and client feedback to ensure a personalised path forward.

Online therapy with Marie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and allow continuity of care that fits into everyday life.
