About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress and big life changes. She offers calm, steady support for grief, anger and low self-esteem. Her approach centres on listening and helping each person find practical ways forward.
She sees people who struggle with the effects of abandonment, attachment problems and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with cancer, caregiver stress, ageing concerns and the challenges that come with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Background and approach
Work-related problems, commitment worries and communication issues are also within her scope. Marie uses a mix of therapies to match what a person needs in the moment. She brings client-centred work that puts the person’s experience first.
Cognitive behavioural elements help with negative thoughts and anxiety by focusing on day-to-day changes that make a real difference. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas guide conversations about how people connect and repair relationships. Existential perspectives help when people face big questions or life-limiting diagnoses and need to make meaning from difficult experiences.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged online by international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Marie uses client-centred work to make each session about the person in front of her. This approach involves open listening and helping clients identify their own strengths and goals, which is helpful for anxiety and low self-esteem.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on practical changes to thoughts and behaviours. CBT can help reduce anxiety by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and testing new ways of coping.
Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships and connection are central to the problem. These help people understand patterns in how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss different methods with clients and decide together which feels most useful. That collaborative choice can be revisited as therapy progresses to match changing needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person conversation and works well for deeper discussions. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible exchanges across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
