Marjorie Coke

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor with 19 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma. Marjorie encourages people to use their own strengths and makes space for hard conversations without judgement.

Her work often centres on supporting someone through loss and bereavement, including bereavement after suicide, and on coping with long-term effects of abuse. She also helps people wrestling with low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, addictive behaviours, and the challenges of parenting and caring roles.

Marjorie draws on several recognised approaches to shape sessions. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also applies trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of painful past events and patterns.

Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools are available when practical steps and day-to-day strategies are useful. These approaches aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and build routines that support better sleep, mood and coping with life changes.

She values collaboration and respect. Clients set the pace and goals, and Marjorie helps turn those aims into small, achievable steps. To begin, people are invited to start with a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to Marjorie’s scheduling process.

How Marjorie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Marjorie uses client-centred work to keep the focus on what matters to the person. This means listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and shaping sessions around their priorities and goals.

She also uses trauma-focused methods to help process painful memories and the ongoing effects of abuse. This work aims to reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life and to help people feel safer in their day-to-day routines.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another element she brings in for practical change. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marjorie will discuss options and make decisions together with each person, matching methods to needs, goals and preferences rather than applying a single model.

If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to arrange.
