She currently works at the Bridge Foundation in Bristol, a not-for-profit organisation offering psychotherapeutic treatment to children and their families.

She offers short and long term and intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy, as well as therapeutic parent work and dyadic therapeutic work. She also supervises other mental health therapists. Marie is also the lead of the Parent-Infant Psychotherapy service (PIP) which she initiated and set up. She has a special interest in working with parents and their infants who, for complex reasons, are struggling to form a healthy attachment and relationship. Marie is originally from France.
