Marie Jones, BACP

Marie Jones is a BACP counsellor with ten years as a qualified therapist and over 25 years working in mental health. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and relationship or family concerns. She also works with issues like grief, low self-esteem and stress that make daily life harder.

Her background includes long experience with complex trauma from childhood abuse alongside support for more common problems. That practical experience shapes how she listens and what she offers in sessions. People can expect straightforward conversation, reflection and help to develop coping strategies.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods alongside elements from cognitive behavioural work, mindfulness and existential ideas. Sessions aim to clarify what is happening now, identify unhelpful patterns, and practice small, useful changes that improve day-to-day functioning. She also brings relational perspectives such as Imago work where relevant.

Marie describes therapy as a place to talk things through and try things out. She will work at a steady pace and focus on what feels manageable. This can include practical tools for sleep, eating or anger, and methods to reduce anxiety or rumination.

For someone in a blended household, Marie can help talk through loyalty conflicts, changing routines, co-parenting tensions and the stress of merging households. If practical steps or a different conversational focus are needed, she adapts the pace while keeping sessions clear and direct.
