Marjorie Coke, BACP

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor with 19 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred way of working and leans on practical therapies to help people sort through stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She supports people who have lived through different kinds of trauma and abuse and offers help with grief and loss. Marjorie holds BACP accreditation, which indicates a recognised professional membership in the UK.

She aims to collaborate with each person and treats them as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday changes rather than labels. Marjorie talks through coping strategies, ways to manage emotions, and small habit shifts that can ease daily pressures.

Her background includes long-term work with complex trauma, intimate partner violence, and child sexual abuse and the longer-term effects those experiences can bring. She also supports people facing addiction, sleep problems, parenting strains and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Many of her clients seek help for life transitions, chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Marjorie integrates approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help with thought patterns and daily habits. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused work where helpful. This mix is used to help people build coping skills and notice the everyday thoughts that shape behaviour.

Her practice is warm and non-judgemental, focused on empowering people to make choices that fit their lives. She encourages small, doable steps and supports people to try new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Client-centred work places the person’s views and choices at the heart of each session. It helps people feel heard and directs therapy around their priorities, which can be useful for stress, relationships and self-esteem. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marjorie will work collaboratively to decide what fits a person’s needs and goals. That conversation may lead to trying different techniques over time and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be easier to maintain. Online work can support quicker, more regular check-ins and let people use tools such as worksheets and mindfulness exercises between meetings. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how appointments will be delivered and how they might fit into your everyday life.
