About Marie
Marie Shakespear is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred and Trauma-Focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She draws on five years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Marie aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and other adults.
She creates a simple, calm space where people can talk about what is troubling them. In sessions she listens without judgment and works at the client’s pace.
Background and approach
That can help when dealing with low mood, worries, or trouble trusting others after painful experiences. Marie uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. This approach helps with confidence, self-esteem and navigating everyday stresses.
She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for people who want practical steps and short-term goals. Marie combines these methods to suit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed plan.
She also offers supervision within her professional practice. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by questionnaire and scheduling. Marie supports people dealing with parenting strain, family conflict, intimacy concerns, ADHD, chronic illness, and a wide range of emotional challenges.
Her style is calm, straightforward and compassionate.

How Marie’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and feelings. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the client’s lead to build confidence and clearer self-understanding. This approach can help with low mood, self-esteem and everyday stress.Trauma-Focused Therapy targets distress linked to past painful events and aims to reduce their hold on daily life. It involves carefully paced conversations about difficult memories and learning ways to cope with triggers and intense emotions.
Marie treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk through options and check what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to fit the client’s goals and pace. This collaborative planning continues as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break, and messaging is handy for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life, work or other commitments.
