About Marjorie

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and trauma-related issues, including intimate partner and other forms of abuse. She also offers support for grief and loss and people who have been bereaved by suicide.

Marjorie treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on practical conversations that identify what is causing distress and what small steps might help. Sessions are straightforward and aim to strengthen coping skills and confidence over time.

Her work draws on a range of approaches including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused perspectives. That mix is used to address unhelpful thinking, responses to stress and the impacts of past harm. Mindfulness-based ideas are sometimes introduced to help with stress and sleep problems.

Marjorie has particular experience with issues around attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family concerns. She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and with relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client's priorities. In online conversations this means time is given for the person to tell their story and for the counsellor to reflect and clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. Online CBT often uses short exercises and practical homework to notice and change unhelpful reactions to social situations or stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of past harm and helps people build new ways of coping; online sessions can introduce grounding and pacing to manage strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will check goals, discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as needs and preferences become clearer. This makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means practical tools and exercises can be sent between appointments to support progress outside sessions.
