About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem. Marie aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can begin feeling steadier sooner.
She listens with an emphasis on attachment and relationships, helping clients make sense of how early experiences shape current reactions. Sessions often explore thoughts and behaviours, and look for small changes that make daily life easier.

The focus is on what the person wants to change and practical steps toward that goal. Marie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works at a pace that suits each person and aims to build on existing strengths.
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, avoiding jargon so conversations stay clear and useful. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

How Marie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and reactions; online sessions can use discussion and reflection to make those links clearer and less overwhelming. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood, so the counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle guidance that helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviours, using practical exercises and homework that work well across video, phone or text formats.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through the options with each person and decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift, with both client and counsellor involved in the decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, while live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments without losing continuity of care.
