Marie Reid is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience who supports people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She works from a strengths-based perspective, acknowledging that each person is the expert on their own life and already carries resources that can help them move through challenge and change. Marie combines careful listening with practical strategies to help clients explore what matters most to them and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Holding the BACP credential, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Marie brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence to her work. She recognizes that seeking help takes courage and treats that first step as an important part of the therapeutic journey. Marie aims to create a supportive environment where clients can examine patterns, build resilience, and discover paths forward at their own pace.

Whether someone is coping with the aftermath of trauma, struggling with mood or relationship strain, or seeking support around addictive behaviors, Marie offers collaborative guidance and practical tools to help advance personal goals and wellbeing.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Personal Growth

Marie Reid uses client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s priorities lead the process; it is helpful for people who want to explore feelings, build self-esteem, and address relationship concerns. Motivational interviewing involves collaborative conversation that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change - this approach is often useful for addictions and for clients facing difficult life shifts. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their problems, helping clients reframe those stories and find alternative ways to understand their experiences, which can be valuable after trauma or during major transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly blend elements from different approaches to best support an individual.

Online therapy with Marie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that fit varied schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
