Marie Bhoyroo, BACP

Marie Bhoyroo is a UK-based therapist who combines compassion with practical tools to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. With eight years of experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - she offers grounded support for clients facing depression, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life transitions.

Marie works with individuals and families on issues such as parenting challenges, intimacy and relationship concerns, sleep difficulties, career-related stress and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, dissociation, chronic illness or pain, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce. Parents who are coping with a child on the autism spectrum may also find her approach helpful.

Using a blend of therapeutic approaches, Marie creates a calm, attentive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and develop coping strategies that fit their lives. She emphasizes presence and collaboration, guiding clients with techniques and reflections aimed at helping them discover their own solutions. In situations of crisis or emergency she asks clients to contact their GP. Marie looks forward to welcoming people who are ready to begin work on change and healing.

Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches in Online Therapy

Marie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer practical and relational support. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand and shift ways of relating that cause distress - it can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to be heard and to find their own solutions; it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers structured ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Marie works collaboratively to choose or adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and experiment together to find what feels most effective.

Online sessions - by video, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, the ability to work from a familiar environment and multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
