Marie Floyd, BACP, NCPS

Marie Floyd uses a client-centred and trauma-informed style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains and major life changes. She brings 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom and describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s own story matters. Marie holds BACP and NCPS credentials which reflect her professional registration and practice background.

She focuses on practical change as well as understanding deeper patterns. Sessions often look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour, while also building straightforward coping skills to manage day-to-day stress. That mix helps with depression, addiction-related difficulties, grief, and intimacy or parenting concerns.

Marie has worked across community settings, including roles with Mind and Turning Point, and with primary care services for people facing homelessness. Those positions gave experience supporting people with dependency, complex life stressors and group-based mental health work. She has also run a private practice alongside that work.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods flexibly to match what each person needs, sometimes combining talking work with imagery techniques for traumatic memories.

Where trauma symptoms are present she may offer the Rewind Technique, an imagery-based method aimed at easing the impact of upsetting memories. Marie aims to help people spot patterns, build new responses and develop coping tools they can use between sessions.

She welcomes conversations about practical goals, day-to-day coping and making changes that fit each person’s life. Sessions are offered in English to people in the UK and internationally.

Approaches for online therapy and how they help

Marie often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people make their own choices. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings, build self-awareness and identify personal strengths.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT sessions commonly include practical exercises and homework to help reduce anxiety, manage mood and develop new coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and what feels most manageable. Together they decide whether a gentle listening approach, structured CBT tasks or trauma-focused techniques are the best fit.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
