About Marjorie

Marjorie Coke has worked as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for 19 years and holds BACP registration. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, grief and relationship concerns, including intimacy and parenting strains.

Her approach starts with listening. She treats people as experts in their own lives and aims to create room for them to tell their story. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the person seeking help, and the focus is on practical steps that feel doable between meetings.

Marjorie draws on several ways of working to suit different needs. She uses client-centred methods to keep the person’s priorities front and centre. She can bring in cognitive behavioural ideas to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and sleep-related difficulties.

She also offers psychodynamic and trauma-focused ways of working when exploring past experiences and their ongoing effects is useful. These approaches are used to better understand patterns that shape current feelings and relationships. The emphasis is on helping people feel more able to manage everyday life and change what isn’t working for them.

Conversations with Marjorie are meant to be non-judgemental and empowering. She invites practical goals alongside emotional work, and she supports people who are coping with hard losses, addiction concerns, chronic illness and parenting pressures.

Approaches you might use in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions, which can suit stress, relationship concerns and sleep difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and clearer routines that can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve rest. These techniques are often used alongside other approaches to support sleep and daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marjorie will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities arise.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue therapy if they are living abroad or need support across different locations.
