Marjorie Coke, BACP

Marjorie Coke is a UK-licensed therapist with 19 years of professional experience and holds BACP credentials, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential that indicates recognised training and professional standards. She works collaboratively with people facing stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and with those affected by intimate partner violence, domestic and physical abuse, and emotional or psychological abuse. Marjorie has extensive experience supporting clients with complex trauma, including child sexual abuse and the long-term effects that can follow, and she offers specialised help for grief and loss, including suicidal thoughts and bereavement following suicide.

Marjorie approaches therapy from a trauma-informed, compassionate stance that emphasises each person’s autonomy. She treats clients as the experts in their own stories and aims to strengthen the resilience and resources they already possess. Seeking change can take courage, and Marjorie provides nonjudgmental support to empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. She works with clients to set clear goals and to identify practical strategies tailored to their circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marjorie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and content of their work while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and strengthening personal resilience.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges because it combines thought-focused work with practical skills.

Given her experience with trauma, Marjorie incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy principles when appropriate, helping clients process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact in a careful and paced way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marjorie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions so approaches can be combined or adapted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access registered professionals from their own location and to maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
