Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marie Lloyd. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I cannot recommend Marie enough. Working with her has been life-changing, and the benefits of our sessions have been immense. Marie has helped me process and navigate difficult experiences, gain clarity about myself and my relationships, and develop the skills to handle challenges with confidence. Her thoughtful questions and expertise in psychology have guided me toward real growth, and every session leaves me feeling more self-aware, stronger, and better equipped to deal with life’s complexities.

As a young entrepreneur living in a big city, I have faced challenges in many areas of my life—professionally, personally, and relationship with myself. These challenges often left me feeling lost and overwhelmed, but working with Marie has made a huge difference. She has provided me with the tools to better understand myself, my emotions, and my circumstances, allowing me to grow as a person and handle situations more effectively.

When I first started therapy, I was skeptical because of previous experiences I’d had. I felt misunderstood, and my therapists didn’t seem to remember or connect with my concerns. I wasn’t hopeful that therapy could work for me. However, meeting Marie completely changed my perspective. From the beginning, she took the time to truly understand who I am and what I’ve been going through. She always remembers the details of our conversations, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares—not just on a professional level, but on a deeply human level.

Marie creates a safe and supportive space where I feel comfortable opening up about my struggles, no matter how complex or personal they are. She provides structured and professional advice that helps me think more clearly and approach challenges with a new perspective. Her sessions have been instrumental in helping me make sense of my experiences, learn from them, and grow into a better version of myself.

As someone living in a foreign country without a strong support network, I’ve often felt isolated and unsure of how to handle the many challenges I face. Marie has been an anchor during these times, helping me process difficult emotions and situations with compassion and insight. She has also helped me build the self-awareness I’ve always wanted, which has been invaluable for my personal and professional life.

If you’re dealing with challenges in your professional life, relationships, or even your relationship with yourself, I cannot recommend working with Marie enough. She has made therapy something I look forward to every week, and I always leave our sessions feeling more hopeful and empowered.

Thank you so much, Marie, for everything you’ve done for me. I am so grateful for your care, expertise, and support.

I cannot recommend Marie enough. After the passing of my grandmother, I found myself struggling with post-traumatic stress and anxiety. Marie has been a guiding light. Her compassionate approach made it easier for me to share my feelings and experiences.

I feel fortunate to have her support on this journey of healing and self-discovery.
