Marjorie Coke , BACP

Marjorie Coke is a UK-licensed therapist with 19 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She has developed extensive practice working with stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence, and the complex effects of trauma including intimate partner violence, domestic and physical abuse, psychological and emotional abuse, and child sexual abuse. Her work also includes supporting those who are bereaved by suicide and people experiencing suicidal thoughts and feelings.

Marjorie approaches therapy from a stance that respects each person as the expert of their own story, believing that resilience and personal autonomy are central to recovery and growth. She aims to help clients build on their existing strengths while offering informed, trauma-aware support for long-term healing. In sessions she seeks to empower without judgement, creating a space where clients can explore grief, relationship and family issues, addiction, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, and emotional concerns such as anger, low mood, and compassion fatigue.

She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects adherence to recognised professional standards. Marjorie combines clinical experience with a compassionate, person-centered stance to guide people toward more fulfilling and manageable lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Marjorie Coke

Marjorie uses client-centered therapy, which places the client at the heart of the work and focuses on understanding personal experience, building self-awareness, and strengthening autonomy - an approach that can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that explores how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers tools to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful patterns. In addition, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic events are central to distress; this type of work aims to process trauma impacts and foster strategies for coping with long-term effects.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marjorie works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she will help tailor techniques and pacing so the chosen methods fit each person’s situation.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to build continuity of care from wherever the client is located. These formats allow Marjorie and clients to focus on progress while accommodating busy lives and differing comfort levels with communication.
