Marie Milnes, BACP

Marie Milnes is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the BACP, bringing 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked with adults, including couples, as well as young people and children, and more recently has focused on psychotherapeutic work. Her practice draws on a client-centred approach that prioritises the individual pace and perspective of each person who seeks support.

Across her career Marie has developed experience in a wide range of concerns, including domestic, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, anger, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, stress, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions and challenges that affect day-to-day functioning and emotional wellbeing.

Working in a non-judgmental, empathetic manner, Marie aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and experiences. The client-centred framework she uses encourages new awareness and understanding, allowing different patterns of thought and behaviour to emerge and offering the possibility of renewed strength, empowerment and a greater sense of freedom. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Client-Centred Care Delivered Online

Marie uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. This way of working helps people explore emotions, increase self-awareness, and address issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma responses and low self-esteem by creating space for the client’s own understanding to emerge.

In sessions she supports adults, couples and young people to identify patterns and consider new ways of thinking and behaving. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative - Marie works with each client to decide which methods and pace suit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting as therapy progresses so the approach fits the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives and for clients based outside Marie’s immediate area. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face interaction, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent contact. These remote formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue work through transitions, travel or scheduling constraints while keeping the focus on meaningful, effective therapeutic engagement.
