About Marie
Marie Floyd is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in a trauma-informed, integrative way and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Marie also supports people facing grief, parenting pressures, addiction-related worries and major life changes.
Her style begins with listening and understanding each person’s story. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more able to cope. Marie combines several approaches to suit each person’s needs. That can mean using client-centred talk, applying cognitive behavioural techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, or exploring how past experiences affect current patterns.
She explains options clearly and works at a pace the client feels comfortable with. Her background includes work with national and community services, including Mind and Turning Point, and experience supporting people at a homeless GP surgery. This mix of roles has given her familiarity with complex life situations and varied coping needs.
For people affected by traumatic memories she offers trauma-informed care and uses imagery-based methods when appropriate. Intake conversations look at current priorities and goals so sessions can be tailored to practical change. Marie aims to help people find clearer thinking, calmer emotions and more resourceful ways to manage family and parenting demands.

How Marie’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings and helps people notice their own strengths. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring parenting and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. This method is helpful for coping strategies and everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s goals, preferences and pace. The process is collaborative so techniques are chosen together and reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy gives flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who need a shorter check-in or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support between sessions or when writing helps express thoughts. Together these formats help people fit therapy around parenting and busy lives.
