About Marjorie

Marjorie Coke is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 19 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, and those coping with grief and bereavement. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, including intimate partner violence and long-term effects of child sexual abuse.

She uses a person-focused way of working that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to help people talk through what feels stuck, explore patterns from the past, and build practical skills for day-to-day coping. Marjorie emphasises autonomy and supports people to make their own choices about change.

Her background includes longer-term work with trauma and abuse and shorter-term work for mood and anxiety problems. She draws on a mix of talking therapies and structured techniques to address symptoms and underlying patterns. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, noticing how the body reacts, or tracing relationship dynamics that repeat.

People come to her for help after major life changes, loss, or when stress from work, study or relationships becomes hard to manage. She also offers support around issues such as addiction, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving.

Marjorie works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Marjorie commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the client says so they can find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of experiences and regain confidence in decision making.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. CBT offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and unhelpful coping habits so people can try different ways of responding day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marjorie will discuss goals, preferences and how urgent issues are, then agree on methods that feel useful. That means planning sessions together and making adjustments as needs change.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into study, shifts, or commuting easier by reducing travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when life gets busy or a mix of session lengths to suit work and study schedules.
