Marie Jones , BACP

Marie Jones is a qualified, humanistic integrative counsellor with more than 10 years of professional therapeutic practice. She combines a deep grounding in humanistic approaches with integrative methods developed over a long career in mental health, drawing on more than 25 years of earlier experience in the field to inform her work.

Marie has undertaken extensive training in complex trauma, including trauma stemming from childhood abuse, and she works with a range of common difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self-worth and grief. Her clinical background enables her to support people navigating both long-standing and more recent life challenges, helping them to explore painful experiences and build practical coping strategies.

Holding BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Marie frames therapy around listening, understanding and collaboration. She aims to provide a non-judgemental space where clients can process issues that affect their wellbeing, relationships and daily functioning. For people considering counselling to improve quality of life, relationships or work, Marie offers experienced, compassionate support informed by both professional training and lived experience.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marie Jones draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness-informed techniques to shape online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-directive environment where clients can explore emotions and personal values, which can be especially helpful for relationship, self-esteem and grief work. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices to help manage intense emotions, support coping with trauma responses and improve day-to-day regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to match each person’s situation, and Marie adapts her recommendations as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility constraints. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, access support from home and use different communication styles to suit comfort levels while working toward meaningful change.
