Marjorie Coke

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor with 19 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing trauma, abuse, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. Marjorie values the courage it takes to ask for help and aims to offer non-judgemental support.

Her background includes long-term work with survivors of physical and psychological abuse and with people affected by child sexual abuse. She has experience helping those who are bereaved, including people who have lost someone to suicide, and those living with suicidal thoughts. Marjorie emphasises a person’s own strengths and resilience as a foundation for change.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the person’s priorities at the heart of conversations. Cognitive behavioural methods help to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that are causing distress.

Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build present-moment coping skills and reduce overwhelming feelings. Psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas are brought in when looking at longer-term patterns and the impact of past events on current life. Marjorie aims to make therapy practical and relatable while exploring deeper issues when helpful.

People who come to her often want straightforward help with everyday struggles as well as support through big life changes. She encourages open discussion about goals and will work alongside each person to shape a plan that fits their situation.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple strategies to reduce anxiety, anger and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their goals and what feels helpful. Sessions may combine approaches and change as progress is made so the work stays relevant.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around daily life, avoid travel time and make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks. Some formats also let conversations be shorter or take place without video if that suits someone better.
