About Marie
Marie Reid uses a person-centred approach to place the client at the centre of change. She works in a straightforward way and focuses on what matters most to each person. Marie encourages people to build on their strengths to face difficult situations and make practical changes.
She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and brings that background to conversations about addiction, relationships and trauma. She also helps people who are coping with depression, stress and anxiety.
How Marie works
Many come with questions about self-esteem, grief or intimacy; she addresses these concerns in simple, practical steps. Marie uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to strengthen commitment. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused approaches to reframe problems and set small, achievable goals.
Sessions concentrate on clear next steps rather than abstract theory. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where they lead the pace and direction. Marie believes the client knows their story best and supports them in uncovering options that feel realistic.
She offers a calm presence for those taking the first step towards a different life. Practical issues like sleep, career strain and caregiving stress are included in conversations alongside emotional issues. Marie helps with communication problems, separation and family-related strains while keeping the work focused and manageable.
Her aim is to make therapy useful and straightforward for everyday life.

How Marie's approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths. Online sessions using this approach give time for someone to be heard and to discover their own solutions, which can help with depression, anxiety and relationship concerns.Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring what someone wants to change and why. In remote sessions it helps people build motivation for things like cutting down substance use or making lifestyle changes by focusing on personal reasons and small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods that fit their situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and share conversation much like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, want ongoing check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
