Marie Floyd uses an integrative, trauma-informed approach to counselling. She combines client-centred listening with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Marie explains things plainly and focuses on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.

She has worked in the UK mental health sector for 15 years, including roles at Mind and Turning Point. That background includes counselling coordination, group facilitation, addiction support and work at a GP surgery serving people experiencing homelessness.

Background and approach

Those experiences inform her flexible way of working with different kinds of problems. Marie draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a reliable therapeutic relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

For trauma-related difficulties she offers Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques and specific imagery work aimed at distressing memories. In sessions she helps people understand patterns from their past and how these affect day-to-day life now. Together they identify strengths, try out coping strategies and test small changes to improve mood and relationships.

Marie explains concepts in simple language and keeps the focus practical. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, intimacy and issues tied to family or adoption histories. Marie also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges and problems connected to major life change.

Her aim is to help people feel more in control and able to move forward.

How Marie's approaches work online

Marie integrates Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people remotely. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, validation and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood during sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduce simple experiments or exercises to change them, which can be practised between appointments.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy for people affected by traumatic memories, offering imagery-based techniques that aim to reduce the intensity of distressing recollections. The choice of approach is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to decide which methods best match the person’s needs, goals and preferences as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or notes between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, while keeping the same therapeutic methods and goals.
