About Mike
Mike Lloyd is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the UK. He works with people who want help with relationships, family issues, self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, anger, career questions and depression.
He uses straightforward talking and practical steps rather than technical language. Sessions are focused on what the client wants to address next. Conversations aim to clarify problems, identify small changes to try, and notice what helps and what gets in the way.
Mike combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. That mix means he spends time hearing how things feel, then testing simple ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and setting short-term goals to build on. Clients can expect clear, task-oriented conversations as well as space to be heard.
Over six years he has worked across a range of personal and family difficulties, including divorce and separation, family of origin issues, communication problems and commitment concerns. He also has experience supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, attachment issues, codependency and intellectual disability.
Practical matters such as career direction, life purpose and coping after disasters are part of his practice too. To begin, users follow the site steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients talk through what matters most. The therapist reflects what the client says and prioritises the client’s concerns, which can help with relationship and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence feelings. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals to move a situation forward.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches together, and adjust what they do based on what suits the client’s needs and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape the focus of sessions over time.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and everyday life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the client. Registered or accredited professionals on the site will help decide how to use sessions practically and will agree a plan that fits each person’s circumstances.
