About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with major life changes and difficult events.
Marie believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on listening, identifying strengths and talking through what feels most urgent. She aims to create a steady space where practical steps and emotional understanding can grow together.
Background and approach
Her background includes a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation, listed as BACP. That professional link informs how she structures sessions and keeps practice standards consistent. Marie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people understand feelings and relationships.
When useful she also uses cognitive techniques to manage negative thinking and existential ideas to help with meaning and life decisions. People meet her for support with grief, longstanding trauma, self-harm history, work stress, serious medical diagnoses and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, autism spectrum questions and caregiver stress.
Her aim is practical progress: calmer days, clearer choices and better ways to cope. She invites people to start small and build on what already works for them.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with emotions in the moment to change unhelpful interaction patterns and soothe painful feelings. It can help people who feel stuck in cycles of distress or who need to understand strong emotions linked to loss or attachment.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current ways of relating and feeling safe. This approach helps people recognise patterns that affect relationships and develop more supported ways of connecting with others and with themselves.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques and shape sessions around what feels most helpful. Together they review progress and adjust methods when needed so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help maintain continuity of care across time zones and when travel is difficult, while giving flexibility about timing and length of contacts.
