Marie Reid , BACP

Marie Reid is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience who supports people facing addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. She holds BACP credentialing - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a respectful, strengths-focused stance that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story.

Marie approaches therapy with an emphasis on clients own resources and resilience, helping them identify the strengths they already have and use those strengths to work through current difficulties. She frames change as a process that begins with a brave first step and offers steady support as clients explore new ways of coping and relating.

Whether someone is dealing with acute life changes or ongoing emotional struggles, Marie aims to create a collaborative space where goals are clear and progress is practical. She is available to work with clients who are ready to commit to growth and who are seeking a therapist who honors personal experience while guiding them toward more fulfilling, healthier ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding - this approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings and decisions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to make changes by exploring their values and ambivalence - it is often helpful for issues like addictions and behaviour change. Narrative Therapy invites clients to separate themselves from their problems and re-author the stories that shape their lives - this can be useful for trauma, identity concerns, and coping with major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt strategies as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Marie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to fit into everyday life while maintaining a focus on meaningful progress.
