Marie Lloyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people facing big life changes and helps them find practical ways to cope.

She works in a way that treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions are conversational and aim to highlight strengths the client already has. The first meetings are used to build trust, clarify problems and agree simple goals to work towards.

Background and approach

Marie draws on approaches that look at how close relationships and past experiences shape current feelings. She also uses techniques that identify unhelpful thought patterns and how they influence behaviour. These methods are adapted to suit each person’s pace and needs.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related adjustment, communication problems and coping after disasters. She also has experience with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with personality-related difficulties like avoidant and antisocial traits. Marie holds BACP which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps find the right fit before scheduling a first appointment.

Approaches that guide online work

Marie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour; this can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated patterns in relationships. Client-centred work means sessions are led by the person’s priorities and pace, focusing on empathy and listening to help people feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options in early sessions and suggest techniques that fit the client’s goals and preferences. Plans can change as the work progresses and new needs emerge.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins, live chat suits people who prefer typing in the moment, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer more flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
