About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults in the UK and internationally on common pressures of early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem and coping with major life changes.
Marie helps people talk through symptoms that often follow trauma and loss. Her work covers childhood trauma, complex grief and bereavement, and the emotional impact of abusive experiences. She also supports people dealing with work-related stress and the shock of life-limiting medical diagnoses.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to identify existing strengths and practical steps that can reduce distress. Techniques draw on attachment-informed thinking and cognitive approaches to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Marie also uses emotionally-focused work to look at relationships and how feelings shape behaviour. She can help people understand patterns such as avoidance, codependency and difficulties with commitment or communication. This often involves noticing relational habits and practising different ways of responding.
People who choose Marie usually want straightforward, practical conversations about what feels hard. She encourages small, manageable changes and clear options for coping. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online booking flow.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. In online sessions this can mean mapping patterns of closeness and distance and noticing how those patterns show up in friendships and new relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking, testing it with practical experiments and rehearsing different responses between meetings.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which methods suit the person's goals and situation, and they can adapt the way they work if something is not helpful. The tone is collaborative and practical, with space for checking progress and trying alternatives.
The practical benefit of working online is that sessions can fit more easily around study, work and travel. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online meetings can make short check-ins easier, reduce travel time and help people keep therapy consistent during busy or changing schedules.
