Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She aims to help clients find clarity, build inner strength and discover a more positive way forward. Marie writes plainly and listens with patience, making space for people to share things that feel difficult to say.

She focuses on forming a warm, trusting relationship so people feel able to speak openly. That relationship is the basis for exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Background and approach

Marie gives time and space and accepts that opening up can take a while. Marie works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. She explains ideas simply and uses approaches that help people understand themselves, manage difficult emotions and make practical changes.

With ten years of experience she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, bipolar, ADHD and career questions. Marie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The practice is based in the United Kingdom.

How Marie adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Marie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for online delivery. For example, she may use person-centred approaches that focus on listening and building a trusting relationship to help people speak honestly about hard feelings and life changes. She also uses practical problem-solving and coping strategies to help manage symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie will work with each person to identify goals, try out methods and adjust what she does based on what helps. That way the therapy can change as needs and priorities shift rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit around busy schedules. These options help people access support from different places and at different times while keeping the focus on making progress.
