About Marie

Marie Potter is a counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain. She offers one-to-one sessions where people can talk through difficult feelings and work toward clearer thinking and greater inner strength. Marie uses a calm, patient style that aims to make it easier to begin talking about painful or confusing things.

Her work centres on building a warm, trusting relationship so clients feel able to share thoughts they may not have spoken about before.

Background and approach

That relationship is treated with care and given time to grow, recognising that opening up can feel hard at first. Marie practises as an integrative counsellor and draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She brings different perspectives into sessions to help people deepen their understanding of themselves and their behaviour.

The goal is practical: to support small changes, greater confidence and new ways of coping. She has ten years of experience and holds BACP accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Marie works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strains, addiction and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the booking process.

Online approaches and what to expect

Marie draws on a small set of evidence-based approaches to guide online work. One approach focuses on helping people understand patterns in their thoughts and feelings and then trying out small changes in behaviour to reduce distress and improve mood. Another approach emphasises building a safe, trusting relationship and using that connection to process painful experiences and trauma at a comfortable pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marie will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit best with the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review what helps, adjust the plan if needed, and keep the focus practical and manageable.

Online therapy is offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so sessions can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging lets someone reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at different times.
