About Marie
Marie Lloyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem. Marie aims to make the first steps feel manageable and affirms the strengths people already have.
Her work treats the immediate concerns people bring, such as coming to terms with major life changes, coping after bereavement, and dealing with difficult thoughts. She also supports people facing relationship strain, workplace stress and the emotional impact of serious medical diagnoses.
Marie uses a range of approaches to match what each person needs. She leans on client-centred listening to understand a person’s story and values. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to try practical alternatives.
Attachment-informed work and emotionally focused ways of working are drawn on when relationships and connection are central to the issue. Existential themes are brought in when people are wrestling with meaning, values or big life decisions.
Marie describes the person as the expert in their own life and aims to help them notice strengths they can use. The initial step is often a short discussion about what someone wants from therapy and what feels doable. From there she and the client plan how to move forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Marie commonly uses client-centred work which means listening carefully and helping a person make sense of their own experience. This approach aims to build trust and help people identify their own goals and resources.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and trying practical alternatives. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress and low mood.
Attachment-informed and emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships and connection are central to someone’s difficulty. These ways of working look at patterns in how people relate and aim to gently shift how they respond to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Session arrangements were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people who live internationally to connect with a therapist without relocating.
