Marie Milnes , BACP

Marie Milnes is a UK-based counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of clinical experience supporting adults, couples, young people and children. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has developed a broad practice working with issues such as domestic and sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, anger, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, stress, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence.

Working in a client-centered, person-centred way, Marie offers a non-judgmental, empathetic space that encourages clients to explore emotions and life experiences at a comfortable pace. Her approach foregrounds understanding and sensitivity, helping people to make sense of their feelings and to notice unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour.

Through this collaborative process she aims to foster new awareness and practical shifts in how clients relate to themselves and others, supporting increased emotional resilience, improved relationships, and a greater sense of personal agency and well-being.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of their work. In this approach the therapist offers active listening, reflection and support to help individuals explore their emotions and develop greater self-understanding - an approach that can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma.

Marie’s person-centred way of working emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the main vehicle for change, allowing clients to feel heard and respected while they examine unhelpful patterns and consider new ways of coping. This collaborative stance means she works with each person to identify the most suitable focus and methods based on their needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, family or mobility constraints. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or abroad, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained to provide effective emotional support.
