Marie Floyd
Experienced trauma-informed counsellor
About Marie
Marie Floyd is a counsellor with 15 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a mix of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the aftermath of trauma. Marie focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and relationship difficulties.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and supportive for people who feel overwhelmed. Her background includes work at Mind where she served as a counsellor, counselling coordinator and mental health group facilitator.
Background and approach
She has also worked with Turning Point supporting people with dependency and binge use of alcohol and drugs, and with a homeless GP surgery alongside running a independent practice. These roles have shaped her practical, down-to-earth style. In sessions she treats each person as the expert in their own life.
She helps people spot repeating patterns, build self-awareness and use their own strengths. That can mean learning new coping skills, trying different ways of thinking about problems, or practising techniques to ease strong emotions. Marie draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to tailor support to each person.
She is trauma informed and offers imagery-based methods for traumatic memories where appropriate. Conversations are focused on what is useful now and on small steps that fit everyday life. People come to her with many concerns including grief, addiction, parenting strain, intimacy and self-esteem issues.
Marie aims to help people feel steadier, more able to manage tough days and clearer about next steps.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the pace of change. Online sessions using this approach give space for someone to tell their story and try new ways of thinking about problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms. In remote work CBT often involves short exercises, thought records and behaviour plans that can be done between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits the individual’s day-to-day life.
Online therapy with Marie can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
