About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with twelve years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem, and those coping with major life changes. Marie approaches each person as the expert on their own life and aims to help them recognise and build on their strengths.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including attachment issues, codependency, abandonment worries and communication problems. She has supported people dealing with serious medical diagnoses, caregiver stress, and bereavement, as well as those managing workplace strain and major transitions. The focus is on practical steps that feel manageable day to day.
Marie uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Sessions also draw on client-centred listening to ensure people feel heard and respected.
In sessions she listens carefully, helps people name what matters most, and works with them to try small changes that can make life easier. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort. Marie encourages gentle experimentation so people can test new ways of coping between meetings.
People who choose her often want a calm, practical space to think things through. She supports international clients and offers therapy in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Marie commonly uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and responses to stress. This approach can help when people notice repeated difficulties in close relationships or worry about clinginess or avoidance.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes to behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that feel stuck because of repeating thoughts and habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and will adapt methods to match goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are reviewed and changed if they do not help.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family life and travel, and avoiding time spent on journeys. Online conversations can make it easier to check in from a quieter room or to have a shorter catch-up when life is busy.
