Marie Lloyd, BACP

Marie Lloyd is a UK-licensed counsellor and psychotherapist with more than 12 years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and bereavement, anger, low self-esteem, and the challenges of coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, childhood trauma, relationship problems, sexual and domestic abuse, self-harm, work-related stress, and coming to terms with life-limiting medical diagnoses.

Marie holds the BACP credential, which signifies membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and years of practice within the UK counselling field. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own experience and that clients already carry strengths that can support recovery and growth. Sessions are aimed at helping people identify those strengths, build coping skills, and make decisions that reflect their values and goals.

Beginning therapy can feel like a brave step, and Marie recognises that courage. She seeks to create a collaborative, respectful space where people can explore their concerns at a pace that feels manageable and work toward practical, meaningful change.

Approaches, collaboration, and the convenience of online therapy

Marie Lloyd commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and can help with difficulties in close relationships, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support so clients can clarify values and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, negative thoughts, and problem-solving.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Marie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the pace and style of sessions so that therapy feels like a joint effort rather than a prescribed path.

Online therapy with Marie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, while still maintaining regular, structured sessions with a licensed professional who can adapt approaches to fit each client’s circumstances.
