About Marie

Marie Milnes is a counsellor and psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and trauma. Her approach aims to make space for feelings and for clients to move at their own pace.

Marie uses a person-centred style that focuses on each individual's experience.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and grounded in what matters to the client. She listens for the patterns that keep causing pain and helps people consider different ways of responding. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as abuse, bereavement, self-harm, anger, eating and sleeping problems, addiction and mood conditions like depression and bipolar.

She has supported people dealing with parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career-related difficulties. Marie also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, communication struggles, abandonment concerns and attachment difficulties. She has experience alongside complex situations such as caregiver stress, blended family issues and chronic illness challenges like cancer.

Sessions focus on increasing awareness of emotions and responses. Over time clients often find new choices in thinking and behaviour. The aim is to build emotional strength and a clearer sense of direction that fits each person's life and goals.

Ways of working Marie names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online therapy

Marie uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's own experience and priorities. This style involves open listening, reflecting what is said and helping clients find their own direction. It is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and many trauma-related issues because it keeps the client in control of pace and focus.

The therapist-centred phrasing simply means Marie will collaborate with each person to choose what works best. Together they will consider goals, preferences and life circumstances to shape the approach. Finding the right way of working is part of the process rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life and travel without needing to reach an office.
