About Marie

Marie Lloyd is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom. She has 12 years of professional experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes.

She works with people facing a wide range of difficulties. These include childhood traumas, PTSD, complex bereavement, relationship difficulties, sexual and domestic abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. She also supports those dealing with work pressures, serious medical diagnoses and decision making under strain.

Marie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. In sessions she listens to each person’s story and helps them notice patterns in feelings and relationships. She then uses practical conversation and reflection to help people try different responses.

Sessions focus on what matters now. Marie aims to help people identify strengths and small steps they can use between meetings. She pays attention to how past attachments shape current emotions and relationships, and to how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going.

Her style is straightforward and direct. People can expect clear discussion of coping ideas, time to talk about painful memories, and help sorting practical choices. She accepts international clients and works in English.

To begin, the service asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking system.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Marie commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard-to-identify feelings and relationship patterns. EFT focuses on how emotions guide interaction and can be useful when people feel stuck in repeated responses or disconnection.

She also draws on attachment-based work, which examines how early bonds shape current reactions and relationship expectations. This approach helps when people notice repeated trust or closeness problems. Client-centred therapy is another strand of her work and it emphasises listening, reflection and helping people make sense of their own priorities and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That process is collaborative and practical rather than rigid.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or schedule sessions between other commitments. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking.
