Marie Milnes offers person-centred care rooted in Client-Centred Therapy. She creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction and other challenges. Marie's approach is straightforward and focused on the person in front of her rather than labels.

Marie is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She has worked with adults and with young people over the years and has supported people through grief, parenting strains, career pressures and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar.

Background and approach

Her work also covers concerns like eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. She listens without judgement and lets conversations move at each person’s pace. Sessions are used to explore feelings, notice repeating patterns and try out different ways of responding to difficult situations.

Marie helps people understand how past experiences affect current relationships and choices. Over time, therapy with her aims to build greater awareness and practical coping strategies. That can mean small changes at first, like new ways to manage stress or stronger boundaries in relationships.

It can also involve working through deeper issues such as trauma, abandonment or attachment difficulties. Marie also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges and complex co-morbidity. Her practical, person-focused style aims to help people regain a sense of control, confidence and forward momentum.

Client-centred ways to work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of every session. It involves careful listening, empathy and encouragement so people can talk at their own speed and make sense of feelings. This approach suits issues like anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and the effects of past trauma.

Working online, the therapist will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the way she works as those needs become clearer. That helps make sure the focus and pace suit the individual rather than following a fixed plan.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days or provide regular written check-ins. These formats make it easier to balance therapy with work, family or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
