About Marie
Marie Shakespear is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and BACP registration. She offers a calm, straightforward presence for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Marie aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and regain more balance in day-to-day life.
Marie works in a way that keeps the client’s experience central. She focuses on what matters most to each person and adjusts the conversation to match their pace. Sessions often look at how past experiences affect current patterns, and at small, practical steps that make a difference now.
Her experience includes trauma, abuse and intimacy-related issues alongside depression and bipolar mood concerns. Marie also supports people dealing with family and parenting pressures, career strain, ADHD and self-esteem struggles. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment questions, body image and challenges around alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.
Marie uses approaches drawn from client-centred work, psychodynamic perspectives, solution-focused methods and trauma-focused therapy. This mix helps her hold both the emotional story and the immediate problems people bring to sessions. She also offers supervision to other professionals.
People who choose Marie can expect straightforward language, a non-judgemental manner and a focus on practical next steps as well as understanding. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to availability.
How Marie's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, with the counsellor offering attentive listening and reflection to help the person find their own way forward. It is useful for stress, low mood, relationship worries and confidence issues.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past patterns and early relationships can shape present feelings and behaviour. It helps people make sense of repeated difficulties and how old patterns turn up in current relationships.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Marie will discuss approaches with the person and decide together which methods suit their needs and aims. That collaborative choice includes checking how much focus to place on practical steps, past experiences or trauma-focused work.
