Marie Lloyd

Marie Lloyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Marie speaks English and accepts international clients. Marie offers a straightforward, person-focused approach. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and manage, and to help people find practical ways forward. Her work draws on a mix of therapies, including attachment-based work, client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotion-focused ideas. That mix is used to help people understand patterns, change unhelpful thoughts or respond differently to strong emotions such as anger. Marie has supported people through bereavement, trauma, relationship problems, self-harm and work-related stress. She also helps those coping with major health diagnoses, caregiver strain and life transitions. The focus is on short, clear goals that matter to each person. She holds BACP registration, which indicates a professional link to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. To begin, clients follow the site's process to match with her, complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can help people spot those patterns, name the impact and try different ways of relating to others and to themselves. Client-centred therapy centres on careful listening and being understood. In remote sessions the therapist offers empathic attention and reflective questions to help people untangle confusing feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In virtual sessions this often means setting clear, practical tasks between meetings and reviewing what helps to shift unhelpful thoughts or behaviours. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss different ways of working and help decide what fits best with a person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. For practicalities, the biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel because they cut commuting time. Others like the ability to have shorter check-ins or to work without being on camera. Discussing these preferences at the start helps make sessions fit into everyday life.
