About Marie
Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling for people who feel stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed. She aims to help clients find clarity, build inner strength and develop a more positive outlook. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings and helping people choose workable next steps.
She creates a warm, trusting relationship to make it easier to talk about things you may not have shared before. That trusting space may take time to build and the pace is set by the client.
Background and approach
Marie gives time and patience so people can open up when they are ready. Marie practises as an integrative counsellor, which means she draws on different evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than relying on a single method. That flexible approach lets her tailor sessions to a person’s needs and goals.
Conversations are practical and aimed at helping people notice patterns and make changes that feel manageable. Over ten years she has worked with many common concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Other areas she supports include parenting pressures, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, bipolar and ADHD related challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People who would like to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support
She also draws on practical skills-based techniques that focus on calming strategies, problem solving and building daily routines. These techniques tend to help with stress, compassion fatigue, addiction-related behaviour and managing ADHD symptoms in day-to-day life.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has or has not worked before, and which methods feel most acceptable. Together they choose an approach and review progress as therapy continues.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can fit counselling around work, family and other commitments. Video is helpful for a face-to-face feeling, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins and text messaging can be used for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistency and access therapy from different locations.
