Marie Lloyd, BACP

Marie Lloyd is a counsellor with 12 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes and difficult decisions. Marie uses everyday language in sessions and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.

Marie believes clients are the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical ways to use existing strengths. She listens for patterns in thoughts and habits that make situations harder, and she helps people try different ways of responding. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, noticing unhelpful thinking, and practising small changes that can make daily life easier.

Her background spans a range of difficulties including bereavement, trauma, relationship problems, work stress, illness, and caring responsibilities. Over the years she has worked with issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency and adjustment after major life events. Marie draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method.

Marie holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. People start by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to set up appointments.

If you are nervous about the first session, Marie encourages small steps and clear goals. Her style aims to be gentle and direct so people can see practical progress between sessions.

How Marie’s approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional reactions. It can help people who notice repeated relationship worries or strong fears of abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people explore their own answers; it is useful for building self-esteem and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours step by step to reduce anxiety and stress.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will check in together about goals, what feels helpful, and which methods suit the situation. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as taking a session around work, during travel, or while caring for others. It may also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without being on camera when that helps. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt their approach to suit each person’s circumstances and practical needs.
