About Marie

Marie Bhoyroo helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, relationship breakdown or ongoing stress. She is comfortable talking about anxiety, low self-esteem and the sleep problems that often come with them. Marie is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience supporting people who want clearer thinking and steadier routines.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions begin by identifying what matters most to the client and working out small, practical steps. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based thinking to untangle relationship patterns.

Marie also draws on emotionally-focused and existential approaches to help people make sense of painful feelings and life questions. That can mean naming emotions in the session, tracking how they affect behaviour, and trying out different ways of responding. She aims to make these ideas easy to use in day-to-day life.

When people bring sleep problems into sessions, Marie looks at stress, routine and thinking patterns that disrupt rest. Together they plan manageable changes and try simple strategies to improve sleep habits. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

Sessions are offered in English and French. Marie accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how they shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practise new ways of relating and reduce anxiety that affects sleep or day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own solutions. This approach supports emotional processing and clearer decision making. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful routines and sleep-disrupting behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss aims, preferences and what feels most useful, and adjust methods as the relationship develops. That collaborative process means goals and techniques can change over time to suit what is actually helping.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into daily life more easily, cutting travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to attend from different locations, and it allows the counsellor to suggest homework or routine changes that a person can try between sessions. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
