Marie Potter , BACP

Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling focused on helping people make sense of times when they feel lost, uncertain, or stuck. She works alongside clients to reduce overwhelm, explore options, and build clarity and inner resources that support a more positive outlook or acceptance of difficult situations.

Her practice emphasizes a warm, trusting relationship built at a pace that feels comfortable for each person. Clients are given the time and space needed to share thoughts or feelings that may not have been voiced before, and Marie acknowledges that opening up can take time and may feel challenging in the early stages.

As an integrative counsellor, she draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, selecting ideas and tools that suit each individual. This flexible approach helps deepen self-understanding and supports people to make the changes they want in their lives. Marie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Marie Potter has ten years of experience supporting people through issues such as stress, anxiety, parenting, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She is based in the United Kingdom and is not currently accepting new clients.

Integrative Approaches and Online Support

Marie works from an integrative model, blending different therapeutic ideas to suit each person's needs. This approach focuses on building a collaborative relationship and using techniques that fit the individual's goals, whether they are coping with anxiety, navigating relationship issues, or working through grief.

She also applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing on methods supported by research to address mood, stress, trauma, and behaviour change. These practical tools help clients develop coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and work towards meaningful change in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marie will collaborate with each client to explore options, adjust methods as needed, and agree on a plan that matches the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments. For many people this accessibility supports consistent engagement with licensed professionals and helps maintain momentum between sessions.
