Marjorie Coke , BACP

Marjorie Coke is a UK-licensed therapist with 19 years of professional experience who works alongside people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She supports individuals dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and she brings particular experience in matters of cultural identity and the complex effects of intimate partner violence, domestic abuse, physical abuse and psychological or emotional abuse.

She is trauma-informed and has experience with child sexual abuse and its long-term impacts, and she provides sensitive support for grief and loss, including suicidal ideation and bereavement by suicide. Marjorie believes in each person’s autonomy and approaches therapy with the view that clients are the experts of their own stories and possess resilience that can be mobilised to overcome current difficulties.

Her practice emphasises nonjudgmental support and empowerment, offering a collaborative space where people can take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marjorie integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and empowering the person to lead the pace of change - it is helpful for building self-esteem, strengthening decision-making and navigating life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that explores how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and provides tools for managing anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic events with approaches tailored to reduce distress and support recovery from the long-term impacts of abuse and violence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marjorie works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together the therapist and client review what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or limited local options for specialist support. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals and continue steady therapeutic work from different locations while choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable.
