About Marjorie

Marjorie Coke is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 19 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, alongside trauma and abuse-related concerns. Marjorie also supports those dealing with grief and loss and people affected by addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

She sees clients who struggle with sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and the demands of coping with life changes. Other areas she attends to include ADHD, compassion fatigue, and longer-term effects of abuse. Additional focuses listed are abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues and body image challenges.

Marjorie uses a mix of talking approaches to suit what each person brings. She draws on client-centred work to follow the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques help address thought patterns and behaviour that keep problems going. Trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas inform how she looks at past experiences that still affect present life.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s readiness. Marjorie emphasises people’s autonomy and their own knowledge of their story. She describes resilience as a resource people can use while they try different ways of coping.

Her practice includes supporting those bereaved by suicide and people experiencing suicidal feelings, approached with direct discussion and care planning. For anyone unsure whether this style fits, she suggests an initial conversation to see how she can best match their needs.

How Marjorie uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through painful memories, shame or difficult decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Marjorie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their current needs, goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as different concerns come into focus.

The biography does not name specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, or use brief check-ins when life is hectic. It also allows people to work with a therapist in the same country or from abroad when international sessions are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, can adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets or mindfulness practices to suit an online meeting and everyday life demands.
