Marie Lloyd, BACP

Marie Lloyd offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She makes practical space to hear what matters to each person. Her manner is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping people notice strengths they already have and build on them.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on understanding how feelings, thoughts and relationships affect daily life. That can mean working on skills to manage anxiety, talking through the loss of a loved one, or finding ways to cope with a difficult medical diagnosis.

Marie brings 12 years of professional experience to her practice and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects a professional standard in the UK. She draws on both short-term skill-based tools and deeper therapy work depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Practical issues like how to handle workplace stress or manage anger are addressed with clear steps and real-world strategies. For more painful experiences, such as past trauma or complex bereavement, sessions create room to process emotions at a thoughtful pace.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different circumstances, including remote formats. The aim is a collaborative process where the person sets goals and Marie adapts methods to help reach them, always keeping the focus on manageable, meaningful change.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses and interpersonal patterns. It helps people understand attachment needs and build more reliable ways of relating to others.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person's own perspective and choices. The counsellor listens without judgement and supports people to find their own solutions and sense of direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives clear strategies for managing anxiety, negative thinking and stress through practical exercises and behavioural changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day challenges, then try approaches that fit those needs. This exploration is collaborative and can change over time as priorities shift.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel, and widen access for people in different locations.
