About Marjorie

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor with 19 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse and bereavement.

Marjorie emphasises clients' strengths and their own knowledge of what they need to change. Her approach centres on collaboration and respect for each person's choices. Sessions focus on practical steps that people can take between meetings, together with space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Marjorie aims to offer clear, honest feedback and steady support while people work through hard moments. She uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue and the person. This can include client-centred work that prioritises what the client says matters most.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Mindfulness practices are offered for grounding and staying present during stress and anxiety. Marjorie also draws on trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas when past events affect current life.

These approaches help people link patterns in relationships and behaviour back to earlier experiences. The focus is on understanding how those patterns developed and finding ways to shift them. Many people consult her about parenting worries and relationship strain, as well as sleep difficulties, addictions and managing major life changes.

Sessions are delivered in English and can be arranged for people living in different countries.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marjorie uses a mix of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people tackle current problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most, which helps people feel heard and make decisions that suit their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact and offers practical exercises to try different responses to stress, anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past events continue to cause harm. Trauma-focused work helps link current symptoms to earlier experiences and supports gradual, contained processing of those memories. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; she will discuss options and help clients choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face contact when travel is difficult, phone sessions can be simpler on low bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats increase flexibility and let people keep therapy going across different locations and schedules.
