About Marie
Marie Floyd is a counsellor with 15 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She works from a person-centred view that recognises the client as the expert in their own life and looks for practical ways to build on existing strengths. She uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person’s needs.
That can mean talking through history and patterns, testing out new ways of thinking, or focusing on memories connected to traumatic events.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more manageable and to restore a sense of control. Her background includes roles at Mind, where she was a counsellor, counselling coordinator and mental health group facilitator.
She has also worked with Turning Point supporting people with dependency and binge use of alcohol and drugs, and with patients at a GP surgery for people who are homeless. She continues to run a independent practice alongside this wider service work. In practical terms she helps people notice the patterns that keep problems going.
Together they work to develop coping strategies, improve self-awareness and try new ways of responding to stress and relationship difficulties. That work may include focusing on past events that still affect the present. Marie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS.
She offers sessions in English and sees clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own solutions; this approach is useful for anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce worry and manage low mood.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events affect current reactions and relationships. When trauma keeps showing up in daily life, this work helps reduce its grip and build more helpful responses.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the plan as things change. That collaborative way of working helps people feel involved and in control of their progress.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility for different routines and practical needs while keeping the focus on making steady, useful changes.
