Marie Floyd, BACP, NCPS

Marie Floyd is a trauma-informed integrative counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom since 2010. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, family conflicts and depression, helping them locate the strengths they already bring to change and recovery. Marie frames her work around the belief that each person is the expert on their own story, and she supports clients in building self-awareness, identifying unhelpful patterns and developing practical coping strategies to move forward.

Her clinical background includes roles at Mind, where she worked as a counsellor, counselling coordinator and mental health group facilitator, and at Turning Point, supporting people with dependency and binge use of alcohol and drugs. She has also provided counselling at a homeless GP surgery and in private practice, giving her broad experience across community and specialist settings. This variety of roles has informed a flexible, person-focused approach that adapts to each client’s circumstances.

As a trauma-informed practitioner Marie offers the Rewind Technique for trauma symptoms including PDSD, an imagery-based method used to address distressing traumatic memories. She holds professional credentials BACP and NCPS, which indicate membership of recognised counselling organisations. Marie aims to work collaboratively to uncover underlying patterns, expand perspectives and strengthen practical skills so clients can better manage life in the here and now.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Marie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where clients’ perspectives and choices shape the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building on their existing strengths, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, depression and stress by teaching strategies to reframe thinking and develop coping skills.

As a trauma-informed practitioner, Marie integrates Trauma-Focused methods when addressing the effects of distressing events. These techniques aim to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and support recovery from trauma-related symptoms.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences and immediate needs, and together they will select or blend methods that feel most helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make this work more accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to book appointments that fit their schedules, attend from different locations and continue therapy through changes in life circumstances.
