About Marie

Marie Lloyd works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes using a person-centred approach that emphasises the client's experience. She is a BACP member and has 12 years of practice in counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Marie works with practical concerns first. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and recognise strengths they already have. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make daily life easier. She uses familiar talking therapies rather than medical or diagnostic labels.

Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches. Marie draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused work inform how she understands relationships and emotional responses.

Over 12 years she has supported people with a wide set of issues, including bereavement, trauma histories, relationship problems, work stress and adjusting to serious illness. She has worked with concerns linked to abandonment, caregiving stress, autism and personality-related difficulties. The emphasis is on helping individuals find clearer ways to cope and make decisions that fit their lives.

Sessions are offered in English and Marie accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the service.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions, and it can help when relationship patterns cause repeated distress. Client-centred counselling centres the client's own perspective, offering a steady conversational space to clarify values and decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour, and it is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She will work with the client to try methods and adjust them if needed, so the approach fits the person's needs rather than following a fixed recipe.

Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking as the original biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when days are busy. Some formats use less technology and can be a shorter, simpler way to maintain momentum between in-person appointments or busy weeks.
