About Marie Lloyd
Marie Lloyd is a UK counsellor and psychotherapist with more than 12 years of professional practice, offering experienced support for a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflect her training and commitment to recognised professional standards.
Throughout her career she has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, childhood traumas and PTSD, complex grief and bereavement, and relationship difficulties. Her practice also covers responses to sexual and domestic abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, struggles with self-esteem and negative thinking, and pressures arising from work or major life changes. She has supported clients coping with life-limiting medical diagnoses and with difficult decisions that accompany significant transitions.
Marie approaches therapy from a stance that honours each person as the expert on their own experience. She aims to help clients recognise and build on their strengths while navigating painful emotions and practical challenges. Beginning therapy is often a brave first step, and Marie seeks to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients can work toward clearer thinking, stronger coping, and more constructive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Attachment, Client-Centered Work, and CBT for Online Care
Marie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns of relating and can help when attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or relationship difficulties are causing distress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective, offering empathic, non-directive support that helps people explore feelings and build self-understanding. CBT works with the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing negative thinking, and improving daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow people to access registered professionals from different locations, choose the format that feels most comfortable, and maintain continuity of care through transitions and changing schedules.
