Jean-Marie Lawrence, NCPS

Jean-Marie Lawrence is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Wokingham in the United Kingdom who offers an integrative, client-focused approach to emotional wellbeing. She supports people taking the first brave steps into therapy, helping them find clarity, greater self-awareness, and a more peaceful sense of direction. With five years of practice, Jean-Marie works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating issues, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice brings together methods from several therapeutic models so that each plan is tailored to the individual needs and desired outcomes of the person in therapy. Jean-Marie aims to create a warm, sensitive and respectful environment where clients can explore past and current challenges, process difficult experiences, and take practical steps toward change. She is qualified with the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training and qualification as a psychotherapeutic counsellor.

Jean-Marie welcomes clients who are seeking recovery from historical or recent trauma as well as those navigating relationship conflict, career transitions, or everyday stressors. She is also available to work with international clients and offers a variety of remote session formats to suit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions tailored to you

Jean-Marie Lawrence draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional response. This approach can help people who struggle with intimacy, trust, and repeating relationship difficulties by identifying and gently reshaping those patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client’s own perspectives and pace; the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support so clients can find their own solutions and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, focusing on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve everyday coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jean-Marie works collaboratively with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods are most likely to be helpful at different stages of therapy.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility needs. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue consistent support even when life circumstances change.
