Marie Milnes , BACP

Marie Milnes is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the BACP, bringing 12 years of UK practice working with adults, couples, young people and children. Over more than a decade she has developed wide-ranging experience, supporting people through issues such as domestic and sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, anger, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, stress, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem and confidence.

Working in a person-centred way, Marie focuses on creating a non-judgmental space that encourages clients to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace. Her approach emphasises empathy, acceptance and understanding, helping individuals and couples to build insight and to recognise the patterns that affect their thoughts and behaviours.

Marie aims to support clients toward greater emotional resilience and a clearer sense of agency. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship she helps people develop new ways of thinking and behaving that can lead to increased well-being, a stronger sense of freedom, and renewed personal strength. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Person-Centred Support Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Marie Milnes's practice. This approach focuses on the client's perspective, offering empathy, active listening and unconditional positive regard so individuals can explore feelings, gain self-understanding and work through issues such as anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Marie also practices in a person-centred manner when working with couples and young people, adapting the pace and focus to what each person needs. The emphasis is on collaboration and respect - the therapist accompanies clients as they identify goals and discover new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process itself. Marie works together with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as understanding grows. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility, make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, and widen access for those living elsewhere or with mobility or scheduling constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide meaningful support through these remote formats while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
