Marie Floyd , BACP, NCPS

Marie Floyd is a trauma-informed integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, life transitions and a wide range of family and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice emphasises the client as the expert in their own life and draws on individual strengths to develop clearer self-awareness and practical coping strategies.

Marie has extensive experience in community and clinical settings, having worked for Mind as a counsellor, counselling coordinator and mental health group facilitator. She has also provided counselling at Turning Point, supporting clients with dependency and binge use of alcohol and drugs, and has worked with patients at a homeless GP surgery alongside running a private practice. Those roles have informed her flexible, client-focused approach to therapy.

She integrates several therapeutic methods to uncover underlying patterns, cultivate new perspectives and support clients through change. As a trauma-informed practitioner she also offers the Rewind Technique, an imagery-based approach for working with traumatic memories and related stress symptoms. Marie holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting professional training and membership within recognised counselling bodies. She works collaboratively with clients to tailor therapy to their needs and goals and welcomes working with international clients seeking support.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marie combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused approaches to meet each person where they are. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their feelings and build self-trust; it is useful for relationship issues, low self-esteem and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Trauma-Focused work addresses the impact of traumatic experiences through techniques that help process memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marie works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a client's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts treatment over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to attend sessions from other locations, access support during transitions, and maintain continuity of care for international clients or those with mobility or time constraints.
