About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem problems and coping with life changes, and she also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties and complex bereavement.
Marie uses plain conversation and careful listening to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She treats the person, not just a list of symptoms, and encourages clients to notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and reactions.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to explore early relationship patterns and how these affect current life. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and to test out small changes in behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential ideas also shape how she helps people understand feelings and find meaning during difficult times.
Marie has worked with people facing trauma, self-harm, domestic and sexual abuse, work-related stress, long-term illness and caregiving pressures. She also supports those navigating commitment and communication problems, control issues, and the effects of abandonment or attachment difficulties.
People who prefer straightforward talk and practical steps may find her style helpful. To begin, clients are invited to describe their current problem and the changes they want to make, then plan small, manageable next steps together.
How Marie’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how these shape current responses in social situations and close relationships. It helps people notice repeated reactions and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says, giving space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) encourages practical experiments with thoughts and behaviours, such as testing feared assumptions in manageable steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and daily life, and together they decide which combination of methods to try. That collaborative decision is reviewed as the work progresses so methods can be adjusted.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Some formats need less internet bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which may suit different practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
