About Marie
Marie Potter is a counsellor who helps people when they feel lost, stuck or overwhelmed. She works one to one and offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings. Marie aims to help people find more clarity, greater inner strength and a clearer way forward.
She builds her work around a warm, trusting relationship so people feel safe to share thoughts they have not said out loud before. That relationship can take time to form, and Marie gives people the space they need at the beginning and throughout therapy.
Background and approach
She encourages gentle, steady progress rather than rushing change. Marie practises an integrative approach, drawing on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she can adapt sessions to what each person needs and use different ideas to deepen understanding of feelings and behaviour.
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. With ten years of experience, Marie has supported people with issues such as parenting strain, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and LGBT matters. She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English.
Therapy uses a subscription model and sessions can be arranged by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits both client and therapist. The process is aimed at helping people build resources to feel more confident and move forward.

Online support
Another strand emphasises understanding thoughts and feelings to shift perspective. This involves noticing recurring thought patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs and trying out new responses in real life. That approach can help with self-esteem, depression and relationship worries.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will choose methods and adjust them as needed, so the plan fits the person's situation and pace.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, and chats or messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
