Marie Milnes , BACP

Marie Milnes is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She practices a client-centred approach and focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. Marie also works with concerns such as parenting strain, grief, addiction and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Marie uses a simple, respectful way of working. She listens without judgement and follows each person’s pace. Sessions aim to help people talk through painful experiences and notice repeating patterns that cause distress.

Her work has involved a wide range of issues including bereavement, domestic and sexual abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports people facing life changes, career pressures, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD.

Marie draws on the client-centred model to create space for each person’s experience. In practice this means focusing on what matters most to the individual and reflecting back what is heard so people can make sense of their feelings. The approach is used to help with emotional regulation, improving relationships and building confidence.

People come to her seeking practical ways to cope and clearer understanding of their reactions. She aims to help people find new choices and greater resilience over time. Work together moves at the client’s speed and is intended to restore a sense of agency and hope.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, attentive relationship where the counsellor reflects what the person says and follows their pace. This approach helps people make sense of emotions, build self-understanding and work through issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma.

The right approach is often discovered together. Marie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adjust the way she works with each person as understanding grows. That means a collaborative process rather than a fixed method.

Online sessions can make regular therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow short, flexible contacts between calls. These options support continuity of care, practical scheduling and different communication preferences for people across the United Kingdom and beyond.
