Marjorie Coke , BACP

Marjorie Coke is a UK-based therapist with 19 years of professional practice who works with people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She is a member of the BACP, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects ongoing commitment to professional standards. Licensed to practise in the United Kingdom, she brings longstanding experience supporting those affected by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and low self-confidence.

Her work is trauma-informed and includes specialist experience with intimate partner violence, domestic violence, physical and psychological abuse, child sexual abuse, and the long-term effects these experiences can have. She also offers focused support for grief and loss, including suicidal ideation and bereavement by suicide. Marjorie attends to both presenting symptoms and the broader context of a person’s life, including issues related to relationships, family dynamics, intimacy, parenting, sleep disturbance, addiction, bipolar condition, and coping with life changes.

Additional areas of focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, blended family concerns, body image, caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication and control issues, and challenges arising from natural or human-caused disasters. She believes people are the experts of their own stories and emphasises autonomy and resilience, offering nonjudgmental support to empower change. Marjorie aims to collaborate with each individual to identify practical steps toward a more satisfying and sustainable life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and recovery

Marjorie uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, empathic relationship that honors the individual’s perspective and strengths - it helps people build self-understanding, confidence, and agency when facing life transitions, low self-esteem, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many stress-related problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by helping to process memories and reduce their ongoing emotional effect, supporting recovery from abuse, violence, and long-term trauma responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marjorie works collaboratively to find the best fit based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She can adapt methods over time and combine elements from different approaches to match what works for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home or while travelling. These options help accommodate varied schedules, mobility limits, and geographic distance, and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care in a way that fits a person’s life.
