About Marie
Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling for people who feel stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed. She invites a calm, steady space where clients can talk through what is worrying them and begin to find clearer direction. Marie keeps language simple and practical so parents and busy people can read and decide if this feels like a fit.
She focuses on building a warm, trusting relationship so people feel safe to bring up thoughts they have not shared before.
Background and approach
That ease can take time, and she allows sessions to unfold at a comfortable pace. The aim is to help clients develop inner resources and a more positive outlook or greater acceptance of a situation. Marie describes herself as an integrative counsellor.
She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. Sessions centre on understanding patterns, practical coping strategies and gentle reflection to support change. Many people come to Marie with parenting stresses, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or major life changes.
She also works with issues such as burnout, compassion fatigue, addictions and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her ten years of practice give her experience across a broad range of common struggles. Marie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works online from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. If someone prefers flexible formats, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Marie uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. One commonly used technique focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and developing practical coping strategies. This helps with anxiety, stress and everyday parenting pressures by giving clear steps to try between sessions.Another approach she often uses involves reflective dialogue and gentle exploration of feelings and beliefs. That work can help with low self-esteem, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns by increasing self-understanding and emotional awareness.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer real practical benefits for busy people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when camera time is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections or times when typing feels safer. These options let people fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments rather than travel.
