Marie Bhoyroo, BACP

Marie Bhoyroo helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She speaks English and French and offers support for a wide range of life problems. Marie is a BACP counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on what brings someone to therapy now. Sessions are used to untangle difficult feelings, work through relationship or intimacy challenges, and manage sleeping or parenting worries. Marie also supports people coping with chronic illness, fertility stress, anger or career changes.

Her style centres on listening closely and responding to what each person needs. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred work are also used to help people notice thoughts, deepen emotional awareness and find practical steps forward.

Marie offers a calm space to talk through painful events such as trauma, abuse, divorce or loss. She helps people process dissociation, abandonment fears and struggles with control or dependence. Practical tools and reflective conversation are combined so people can try things between sessions.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Marie supports people who are dealing with family tensions, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and those facing major life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and aimed at helping each person reach clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeating difficult relationship patterns by helping them notice those patterns and try different ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and letting people set the pace and agenda. It is useful when someone needs a non-directive space to make sense of feelings and find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and offers practical exercises to test and change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree on a mix of approaches that feels most helpful. Over time, the approach can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy with a registered or accredited professional makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity of care when life is hectic.
