Marjorie Coke, BACP

Marjorie Coke is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 19 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, and she lists trauma, abuse and grief among her core concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Marjorie focuses on helping people talk through difficult experiences. She supports those affected by intimate partner violence, domestic or physical abuse, and long-term effects of child sexual abuse. She also helps with suicidal thoughts, bereavement after suicide, and the everyday strains of parenting and caring roles.

Her work draws on several approaches. Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep the conversation led by the person who comes to therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to look at patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to distress. Mindfulness techniques may be introduced to manage overwhelm and improve focus.

Marjorie also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas when longer-standing patterns or past events need attention. These approaches look at how past experiences shape present responses and aim to reduce the hold of unhelpful patterns.

People who turn to her often want practical ways to cope as well as a space to make sense of painful events. She describes the client as the expert on their story and works alongside them to identify small, manageable steps. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; confirm session options before booking.
