About Marie
Marie Reid is a counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside person-centred and narrative approaches. She aims to help people make manageable changes and build on their own strengths. Marie writes plainly and meets people where they are, offering steady support as they take steps forward.
With three years of experience working in the United Kingdom, Marie focuses on a wide range of difficulties. She works with addiction and drug or alcohol problems, relationship stresses, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and grief. She also supports people facing life transitions, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career uncertainty.
In sessions she listens first and follows each person’s pace. She uses motivational techniques to help clarify goals and find reasons to change. Narrative ideas help people reframe difficult events and see different meanings in their lives.
Marie also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, practical steps that lead to progress. Clients can expect conversations that centre their experience and build actions they can try between sessions. The overall aim is steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.
Marie is registered with BACP, which is shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How these approaches fit into online therapy
Marie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation for new habits or behaviours. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions and helping someone weigh options in a calm way. Client-Centred Therapy is also central to her work and prioritises being heard; sessions aim to reflect what a person values and to explore what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss different ways of working and make choices together based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the pace of change.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time and allow a check-in during a work break or in quieter moments. It can also let someone choose a shorter check-in or a longer conversation when needed, helping therapy fit around daily routines rather than the other way round. -
