About Marie
Marie Milnes is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has around 12 years of experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns. Marie works in a person-centred way and focuses on understanding each person’s experience at their own pace.
She commonly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Parenting concerns are part of her work, alongside grief, addiction, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing issues such as low self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, anger and compassion fatigue. Marie uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. Sessions aim to help people talk through feelings, notice patterns, and consider different choices.
The emphasis is on listening and understanding rather than telling someone what to do. Her background includes long experience with trauma, abuse and bereavement, and she has worked with people experiencing self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and PTSD. That history informs how she responds to distress and complex emotional reactions in sessions.
Marie offers several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. She works with people in English and accepts international clients, helping them find a workable way to engage in therapy online. People usually begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions.
Marie describes therapy as a collaborative process that builds awareness, resilience and clearer choices over time.

Client-centred care delivered online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist gives calm, non-judgemental attention and reflects what the client says. This approach helps people feel heard and often suits issues like anxiety, relationship strain and parenting stress.In practice, the work is conversational and paced by the client. Sessions help people notice patterns in feelings and behaviour, and consider different ways of responding. The therapist and client decide together which aspects to focus on and how to try new approaches between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and they let people choose what feels most practical for them.
Many registered or accredited professionals use these remote formats to provide consistent therapeutic contact. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best way to connect and to adapt the client-centred approach for the chosen online format.
