About Marie
Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling for people who feel lost, stuck or overwhelmed. She aims to create a steady space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find clearer direction. Marie uses a calm, respectful style so people feel able to share things they have not said before.
Marie brings ten years of experience to her practice. She describes herself as an integrative counsellor, which means she draws on several different approaches to suit the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on helping people understand their patterns, build inner resources and make practical steps towards change or acceptance. Her work emphasises a warm, trusting relationship as the basis for progress. Marie allows the pace to match each person, acknowledging that opening up can take time and may not always feel easy at first.
The aim is to help people develop a more positive outlook and greater confidence over time. Marie supports a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and addiction. She also lists LGBT-related concerns among her areas of focus and is mindful of the experiences that can bring.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom.

How different approaches guide online work
Marie describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach she may use is cognitive-based work, which looks at thoughts and behaviours to help reduce anxiety and low mood by practising different ways of thinking and acting. Another is a person-centred style that focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, which helps people feel understood and more able to talk about difficult feelings.Finding the right method is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and practical needs, and then suggest which approaches to try. This is a collaborative effort and can change as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is changing. If you are considering remote work, please confirm which session options are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Sessions done remotely can make it easier to keep appointments around work, childcare or travel without making any promises about a particular service.
