Marie Jones, BACP

Marie Jones is a BACP-registered humanistic integrative counsellor with more than 10 years of qualified practice and over 25 years of experience working across mental health settings. Her long career combines professional training and personal insight, informing a compassionate, client-focused style that supports people through a wide range of life challenges.

She has undertaken extensive training in complex trauma, particularly trauma originating from childhood abuse, and has substantial clinical experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, low self-worth, grief, and related concerns. Marie aims to create a therapeutic space where clients feel listened to, understood, and able to explore difficult material without judgement. She helps clients develop practical coping strategies and build resilience so that distressing patterns affect daily life, relationships, or work less intensely.

Marie believes that effective therapy depends on finding the right counsellor and approach for each person. She draws on an integrative toolkit to tailor sessions to individual needs and goals, and welcomes people who are ready to seek support for issues that are reducing their quality of life. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - is listed among her professional credentials, reflecting her standing within the UK counselling community.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marie combines established approaches to support clients in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-directive relationship where the client leads the pace of exploration; it is useful for improving self-understanding, self-esteem, and emotional expression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, often supporting stress reduction and improved emotional regulation.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify the best fit based on individual goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from home or elsewhere when needed.
