Marie Bhoyroo, BACP

Marie Bhoyroo welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief or the fallout of a relationship breakdown. She aims to create a calm space where clients can bring what feels hard to say and start untangling daily stresses. Marie is a BACP counsellor with eight years’ clinical experience and she works in English and French.

Marie listens with a focus on emotional connection and practical steps. She helps people spot patterns in relationships, manage strong emotions and build small coping routines that make days easier. Conversations often move between exploring feelings and practising new ways of thinking and behaving.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas about close relationships and client-centred work that keeps the client’s experience central. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful thought patterns and emotionally-focused tools to look at how feelings show up in relationships.

Marie has supported people facing chronic pain, illness and disability alongside mental health struggles. She also works with concerns such as parenting stress, sleep problems, self-esteem, anger, career strain and recovery after domestic violence or abuse.

Sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities. Practical tools, gentler reflection and conversational problem-solving are woven together depending on need. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How Marie's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session and relies on the counsellor's listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often includes simple exercises to try between sessions.

Deciding which approach or blend of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what you want to change, try methods that suit your goals and adjust as you go. This conversation about approach is part of the early sessions rather than a fixed decision made at the start.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into a busy life, as it can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or let someone choose a conversation style that needs less reliance on being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so therapy remains practical and focused on everyday change.
