I have been a qualified therapist for over 10 years. I work as a humanistic integrative counsellor and previous to this I worked in the field of mental health for over 25 years. I have a wealth of both professional and life experience which all inform the way I work. I have had extensive training and experience in complex trauma resulting from childhood abuse and in more general issues such as depression, anxiety, low self worth, grief, and other related life issues. I believe the key to successful therapy is finding a counsellor who can help you explore and process the issues you bring to therapy, who can help you develop effective coping strategies, and who makes you feel listened to and really understood within a safe, non-judgemental space. If you have issues you are dealing with which are affecting your quality of life, your relationships or your work then seeking help through counselling is probably the best thing you can do for yourself. I am here to help.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marie Jones. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Marie has been fantastic in helping me work through a really difficult topic. We are still early in the journey but so far she has been amazing. Personally, I am terrible at talking and opening up, yet she is finding ways for me to gradually unpick my issues and work through them. I would 100% recommend Marie to anyone.

As a novice to therapy, Marie was able to set me at ease and has helped me through a very difficult period navigating a number of issues. She is extremely punctual, professional and quick to respond. I feel extremely lucky to have got her assigned to me via BetterHelp, and can’t praise her highly enough. She has helped me tremendously. Thanks to therapy with Marie, in roughly 18m I have gone from one of my lowest points, to what is probably my happiest. Marie has given me tools and techniques to help me, has enabled me to learn and grow, understand myself much better and be more compassionate to myself. She has nudged me where necessary ensuring I’m being honest with myself. Marie is excellent at what she does.

Marie is patient, compassionate and understanding yet able to challenge displayed behaviour, and she gives you tools to unpack and understand the "why" behind it. She has come into my life at a very turbulent and distressing time, but has helped me more than words can describe by helping me understand and change my mindset. I would highly recommend her expertise and service to anybody requiring complex therapy.

As someone with no previous experience of therapy, I was unsure of how much it would help. I reached out to Marie during a particularly low point in my life and through her help and guidance, I've not only been given tools to help me manage my stress and anxiety, but have also been able to change my mindset. She allowed me time to process my emotions and helped me to work through issues to the point I feel much better equipped moving forward and could not recommend her highly enough.

I am over the mood to have been matched with Marie.
She truly understood and showed me this was the best thing I could have done for myself.
Not only is she competent but also kind and loving.
I cannot imagine having anyone else but her to talk to in future.
Marie I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
