About Marie Lloyd
Marie Lloyd is a UK-licensed counsellor and psychotherapist with more than 12 years of professional experience, offering support to people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her commitment to established professional standards and ongoing development.
Over her career she has worked with a wide range of difficulties, including childhood trauma, PTSD, complex grief and bereavement, relationship problems, sexual and domestic abuse, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, negative thinking patterns, and work-related stress. She also supports people coming to terms with life-limiting medical diagnoses and those facing decision-making challenges during major transitions. Additional focus areas in her practice include issues around attachment and abandonment, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, personality-related challenges, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with disasters or other traumatic events.
Marie approaches therapy from a position of respect for each person’s lived experience, believing that clients are the experts on their own stories. She aims to help people recognise and build on their existing strengths so they can address the problems that brought them to therapy. Taking the first step to seek support can take courage, and she acknowledges and values that decision as part of the therapeutic journey.

Accessible Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Marie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current feelings and behaviour - it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathy, acceptance, and genuine listening so clients can explore their own values and strengths - this approach is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. CBT provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it effective for addressing stress, anxiety, negative thinking, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - which helps people access support from home or while balancing work and caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic work through these formats, making it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
