About Marie
Marie Lloyd meets people who are anxious, grieving or facing major life changes. She begins by helping each person feel understood and by working at a pace that suits them. Marie speaks plainly and offers practical support aimed at day-to-day coping as well as deeper emotional work.
Marie holds a BACP registration and has practised for 12 years in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with bereavement, complex grief and coming to terms with life-limiting medical diagnoses.
Her approach treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions explore what has happened, how it affects feelings now, and what small changes might make life easier. She draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Marie also uses client-centred listening to create a calm space for people to talk. Emotionally-Focused ideas help when strong feelings around loss or relationship pain are present. The aim is practical help people can use between sessions as well as emotional relief in the room.
People who come to Marie often want straightforward help with grieving, major decisions, coping with medical news or relieving persistent anxiety. She asks questions, listens back what she hears, and works collaboratively to find ways forward that fit each persons life.

How Marie's approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports changes in relating to others and to themselves. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person; it helps people feel heard and seen and can be especially useful when coping with grief or major life decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and offers simple exercises to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and everyday life. She will check in regularly to see what is helping and adjust the focus as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into packed schedules, avoid travel time and keep follow-up tasks small between meetings. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work or quieter days, and for using shared exercises and worksheets during a session to practise new ways of thinking and relating.
