About Marie Shakespear

Marie Shakespear is a United Kingdom-based therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace, and she emphasizes collaboration as people take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Marie holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - which reflects her commitment to recognised practice standards. In sessions she draws on approaches that suit individual needs, helping clients address issues such as low self-esteem, family and parenting challenges, work stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Taking the first step into therapy often requires courage, and Marie offers steady support throughout that process. She also works as a supervisor, bringing additional experience to the development and oversight of other practitioners.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marie works with client-centered and psychodynamic approaches alongside trauma-focused methods to respond to the needs people bring to therapy. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and helps clients clarify their own goals, build self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that arise from past relationships and attachment experiences, supporting understanding of recurring emotional difficulties and relationship dynamics. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic experiences, offering tools to manage difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their concerns, goals, and personal preferences, and she will adapt the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs. These formats allow registered professionals like Marie to provide consistent, accessible support to people who may find in-person visits difficult.
