Marie Reid, BACP

Marie Reid is a United Kingdom-based therapist who holds the BACP credential and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and a range of life changes, as well as concerns around intimacy, sleep, self-esteem, and career challenges. Her practice also addresses complex family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, substance use, and other related issues.

Marie approaches therapy from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and already has strengths to draw on when working through difficult challenges. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients' perspectives guide the work and practical strategies are explored together. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Marie offers steady support and practical guidance throughout that process. Her training and BACP affiliation reflect a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development in therapeutic practice, and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients who seek support in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Marie Reid draws on client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy to support people in an online setting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for each person's own goals and experiences; it is helpful for those facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Motivational interviewing focuses on exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation for change, making it well suited to work with addictions and behavior change. Narrative therapy helps people reframe and separate themselves from problems by examining stories and patterns, which can be useful for trauma, grief, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as work progresses so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy with Marie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live outside her home country. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain momentum between sessions, and continue therapy during life changes or when in-person meetings are not practical.
