Marie Lloyd , BACP

Marie Lloyd is a UK-licensed counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP accreditation and more than 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing a wide range of challenges, offering steady support through periods of stress, anxiety and grief as well as help for anger, low self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Her practice includes work with childhood trauma, PTSD, complex bereavement, relationship difficulties, sexual and domestic abuse, self-harm and suicidal ideation, plus practical and emotional struggles related to work and life-limiting medical diagnoses.

In addition to these areas, Marie has supported clients with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, cancer-related adjustment, codependency, communication and control problems, and a range of personality-related challenges. She draws on a blend of clinical approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Marie approaches therapy from a perspective that respects the person’s own expertise about their life. She aims to help people recognise their strengths and build on them to address what feels overwhelming. She acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and offers a calm, encouraging presence for those ready to begin.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marie Lloyd commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape online treatment. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build more secure connections and coping strategies for relational stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, giving the person space to explore their feelings while the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Marie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, during work breaks or while travelling, and support continuity of care for people in different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these methods to offer meaningful, client-focused support across a range of concerns.
