About Marie
Marie Floyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She draws on client-centred and trauma-focused ways of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She believes each person brings strengths and knowledge of their own life, and uses that as the starting point for change.
Marie has worked in charities and clinical settings, including roles at Mind and Turning Point, and she has run a independent practice.
How Marie works
That mix of community and clinic experience means she is used to supporting people with addiction, grief, parenting pressures and complicated life transitions. In sessions she helps people identify patterns that cause pain. Conversations look at how past and present connect, and practical steps are developed to reduce distress.
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside longer-term psychodynamic exploration when helpful. As a trauma-aware practitioner she offers Trauma-Focused approaches and uses imagery techniques for traumatic memories when appropriate. The biography records registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with NCPS.
Marie aims to make therapy tailored and practical. She works with issues such as anger, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, career stress, bipolar management and caregiver strain. Her practice also covers areas like adoption, attachment, body image and coping after loss.
People can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on what feels most helpful now. Sessions combine listening, reflection and concrete strategies so clients can move forward at a steady pace.

How Marie's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their pace. In remote sessions this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client identify their own goals and solutions, which can suit a wide range of concerns from self-esteem to relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills. Online CBT sessions are useful for anxiety, depression and stress because they include homework, thought records and short behavioural experiments that are easy to review during video or text conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation and the chance to use worksheets or screen-sharing. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to write through thoughts, schedule quick check-ins and keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving and busy schedules while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work.
