Marie Potter, BACP

Marie Potter offers one-to-one counselling designed to help people who feel lost, stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed. She creates a space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be explored so that clients may gain clarity, discover new direction, and develop inner resources to foster a more positive outlook or find acceptance of a situation.

Her practice is grounded in a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship that gives people the time and space they need to open up at their own pace. Marie recognises that sharing difficult material can be hard at first, and she aims to move at a pace that feels manageable while offering steady support throughout the process.

As an integrative counsellor she has studied and worked with a range of evidence-based techniques and draws on different ideas to deepen understanding of patterns of thought and behaviour. This flexible approach is intended to help people feel more confident to make changes and move forward. Marie works with a wide variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, parenting, self esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career matters, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes and ADHD.

Marie holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her decade of experience supports a calm, collaborative approach to helping people explore their challenges and build practical ways to cope and grow.
