Marjorie Coke, BACP

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor with 19 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and complex life challenges where feelings can be overwhelming.

She focuses on helping people identify their strengths and use them to make practical changes. Sessions are collaborative and non-judgemental. Marjorie believes clients are experts in their own stories and aims to build on the resilience they already have.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person's goals and pace. She combines that with cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness Therapy to develop present-moment skills. Trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when understanding past patterns is helpful.

Typical sessions involve listening, asking clear questions, and offering straightforward strategies to try between meetings. She pays attention to practical problems like sleeping, parenting strain, workplace stress and relationship difficulties. Marjorie also supports people dealing with bereavement, addictions, chronic illness and care-related stress.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful memories and day-to-day pressures. The emphasis is on small steps that fit into everyday life. The goal is improved coping, clearer thinking and greater confidence in moving forward.

How Marjorie's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's goals and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it gives short-term strategies people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. That shared decision-making means the work reflects the client's preferences and everyday life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quick check-ins when needed. For specific session formats please confirm current options before booking, as those details are set by the service. Many people find remote sessions let them continue therapy around work, caregiving or medical commitments without extra journeys.
