Jean-Marie Lawrence
Compassionate counsellor for stress and trauma
About Jean-Marie
Jean-Marie Lawrence helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She writes plainly and meets people where they are. Jean-Marie creates a calm, respectful space so someone can talk through what matters and start finding practical steps forward.
She uses a blend of approaches that are chosen to fit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and gentle support rather than jargon. People bring issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, eating concerns, low self‑esteem, relationship and family tension, trauma and abuse, or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Over five years she has worked with a wide range of presenting problems. Her methods include client‑centred work that follows the client’s lead, attachment‑based ideas that look at how relationships shape feelings, and cognitive behavioural techniques that help change thoughts and behaviours. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and hypnotherapy when it suits the person’s goals.
In sessions she aims to be warm and practical. Conversations can include exploring past experiences, testing new ways of thinking, and practising small, manageable steps between meetings. The aim is clearer thinking and more useful habits rather than quick fixes.
Jean‑Marie is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text‑based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps identify a good fit and timings that suit the person.

How Jean‑Marie’s approaches work online
Attachment‑based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand patterns that repeat in close relationships and build kinder ways of relating. Client‑centred therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and offering empathic listening. It is useful for building self‑understanding and for people who need a steady, non‑judgemental space. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jean‑Marie will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made, so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit quick check‑ins, reflective writing, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and life commitments, while still using the chosen therapeutic methods.
