About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem problems and coping with life changes. Marie also lists work on abandonment, attachment issues, illness and caregiving stress among her focus areas.
She uses a straightforward approach that treats the client as the expert in their own life. In sessions she listens to the problem, highlights existing strengths and helps people try practical ways of coping. Conversations are direct and centred on what the person wants to change or understand.
Marie draws on a mix of methods to suit different concerns. She may use ideas from attachment-based work when relationships cause pain, client-centred conversation to follow a person's priorities, or cognitive behavioural techniques to address repetitive unhelpful thoughts. She also references emotionally-focused and existential perspectives where questions of meaning or intense emotion are present.
People often come for help after a big change in work, health or relationships, or when grief and anxiety make decisions harder. Marie commonly supports those struggling with bereavement, trauma-related problems, distress after a medical diagnosis, and workplace stress.
She explains therapeutic options clearly and helps people try practical changes between sessions. To begin, she asks for a short initial description of concerns and what someone hopes to get from meeting. That information helps shape the first few sessions and decide next steps.
How her approaches can work in online sessions
Marie draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred conversation and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape reactions to loss and conflict; it can help when relationship pain or abandonment is central. Client-centred therapy places the person's perspective at the heart of sessions and is useful when someone needs time to make sense of emotions and priorities. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going and offers practical strategies to test different responses.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most relevant and try ways of working that match the person's goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments or caring duties. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort are factors. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical arrangements to help therapy fit everyday life.
