Marie Floyd , BACP, NCPS

Marie Floyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain or major life changes. Marie also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction issues, grief and challenges around intimacy and parenting.

Her practice is informed by a belief that clients are experts in their own lives. She focuses on practical steps people can take now while exploring how past experiences shape current feelings. Sessions aim to build self-awareness, identify patterns, and strengthen coping skills that fit everyday life.

Marie has worked in a range of settings including Mind, Turning Point and a GP surgery supporting people experiencing homelessness. That mix of charity and clinical experience brings a grounded, real-world perspective to one-to-one work and group facilitation.

Her counselling style blends client-centred listening with tools from cognitive approaches and psychodynamic thinking. As a trauma-informed counsellor she also offers the Rewind Technique, an imagery-based method used with traumatic memories.

People who choose Marie can expect a collaborative and flexible approach. Together they explore personal history, identify practical strategies and test what helps in day-to-day life. The intent is to help people move from feeling stuck to making manageable changes.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist reflects your experience, helps you name feelings and supports choices that feel right for you. It suits people who need a non-judgemental space to make sense of things.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful thinking and boost practical coping skills, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic events. It uses structured methods to help process difficult memories and lessen symptoms that can interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, past experiences and what seems manageable. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust as needed to find what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a variety of ways to connect. Video calls let you see and hear the counsellor, phone sessions can use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping regular contact with the therapist.
