About Marie
Marie Milnes is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred style to create a calm, non-judgemental setting where people can talk through worries at their own pace. Parents reading this will find straightforward language and a steady focus on practical emotional support.
Marie often helps with anxiety, stress and phobias, and she also supports people facing relationship strain, grief and changes in life.
Background and approach
She is experienced with issues such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to addiction and compassion fatigue. She works with both mood conditions like depression and bipolar, and neurodiverse needs such as ADHD and autism spectrum concerns. Her approach centres on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person in front of her.
Sessions aim to increase awareness of feelings and thoughts, and to help people notice patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. That makes it easier to choose different responses over time. Marie has worked with adults, young people and children across a mix of presenting concerns.
She draws on more than a decade of practical experience rather than a single manual, adapting conversations to each person’s pace and goals. Many clients use sessions to regain energy, set clearer boundaries, and find steadier ways to cope. For someone feeling overwhelmed by panic, grief or a fear that limits daily life, Marie offers steady listening and practical dialogue.
The emphasis is on small steps people can try between sessions, and on building a clearer sense of emotional control and hope.
Person-centred therapy online and practical access
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on a fixed set of techniques. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and offers an accepting space so people can name feelings and make sense of them. This approach suits worries like anxiety, phobias, grief and relationship strain because it helps people feel understood before trying new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether the person-centred way fits, or whether adjustments are useful. That decision is collaborative and changes as needs evolve during therapy.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when a shorter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, daily check-ins or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options aim to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
