Marjorie CokeBACP

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 19 years of professional experience. She supports people who are under stress, struggling with anxiety or depression, or coping with trauma and abuse. She also helps those facing grief, low self-esteem, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges around parenting and sleep.

Marjorie works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own life. She aims to create a respectful space where people can speak freely and make choices about what matters to them. Her approach is rooted in collaboration and practical support rather than judgement.

Her practice covers a broad range of issues including complex grief, suicidal thoughts, experiences of physical or emotional abuse, and the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, and caregiving stress. Marjorie understands how life changes can affect mood, behaviour and relationships.

In sessions she draws on a mix of talking therapies to suit the individual. That can mean focusing on current patterns and coping skills or looking back to make more sense of recurring problems. She uses straightforward language and works at a pace the person is comfortable with.

People who choose Marjorie can expect practical steps alongside emotional support. She encourages small, manageable changes and helps people build on their resilience. To begin, she asks people to describe their goals so together they can agree a way forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Marjorie commonly uses client-centred work, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person shape their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters next.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build practical coping skills. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marjorie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then agree a plan together. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether to emphasise practical skill-building, trauma-focused work or deeper reflective work.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer flexibility for those living abroad, since she does accept international clients.
