Marie Lloyd, BACP

Marie Lloyd is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem. Marie also supports those coping with major life changes and a wide range of related concerns, including bereavement and trauma-related difficulties.

She approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and using them to move through hard times. Marie aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward.

Her background includes long-term work with trauma, complex grief and relationship difficulties. Marie uses several therapeutic styles and adapts them to what the person needs in each session. The focus is on practical ways to change thinking patterns, repair emotional connections and understand how past experiences affect present reactions.

In practice she blends talking therapies that pay attention to feelings, attachment patterns and thinking habits. Clients work on clearer communication, more helpful daily routines and ways to cope when strong emotions arise. The work is paced to suit each person and their goals.

Marie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. To begin, people are invited to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps people understand trust, connection and reactions in close relationships and is useful for attachment issues and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can be helpful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will discuss these ways of working and decide with the client which to try first based on their goals and preferences. The therapist adapts methods over time if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel and help people schedule appointments around work or family.
