About Marie

Marie Bhoyroo is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and French and she accepts international clients.

Marie listens to what is happening now and what keeps repeating. She helps people talk through loss, low self-esteem, parenting strain and changes that feel overwhelming. Practical tools and conversational reflection are used alongside talking about feelings. She explains ideas clearly and checks in about what feels useful.

Her work draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to focus on relationships and how early patterns affect current life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when it helps to change thoughts and routines that keep anxiety or low mood in place. Emotionally-Focused ideas are brought in for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Marie offers a calm, straightforward approach. Discussions cover concrete problems such as sleep, anger, career stress, fertility issues and chronic illness alongside emotional themes like abandonment or attachment difficulties. She will suggest simple strategies to try between sessions and review how they worked.

Initial steps are practical: complete a short matching questionnaire on the platform, then arrange the first meeting. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current ways of relating. It helps when patterns from the past cause problems in present relationships or create fears around abandonment. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room, offering listening and reflection to help them find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets thought patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about techniques are made together and reviewed as sessions progress.

The platform's process requires completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first meeting. The biography does not specify formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow quieter check-ins or shorter sessions if that suits a person's routine, and they avoid needing to travel for each meeting.
