About Marie
Marie Milnes offers gentle, person-centred counselling that puts the client at the heart of the work. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. Marie has a warm, straightforward style that helps clients feel heard.
She is identified by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, as a recognised professional. Marie draws on 12 years of experience working with adults across a wide range of concerns.
How Marie works
Common issues she supports include stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties. She also helps with relationship problems, intimacy concerns, grief, addiction and coping with life changes. Her practice addresses day-to-day struggles too, such as sleeping and eating problems, low self-esteem, anger and workplace stress.
She also works with people facing trauma and abuse, and those handling caregiving pressures or cancer-related distress. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment and communication problems. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual.
Conversations focus on making sense of feelings and recognising patterns that keep difficulties going. Over time clients can find clearer choices and a stronger sense of how to move forward. Marie works with people across the United Kingdom and with international clients in English.
She offers several online formats to suit different needs, and uses a simple subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Client-centred care offered online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the client space to talk and be heard. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and genuine listening, helping people untangle feelings and understand what matters to them. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and coping with loss or change.Marie uses a person-focused stance that encourages clients to lead the pace and topics of sessions. She will work collaboratively to find the best therapeutic fit based on the client's goals and preferences. Choosing or adjusting an approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when seeing facial expression matters. Phone sessions can be useful if bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access a therapist across distances.
