Marjorie Coke, BACP

Marjorie Coke is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 19 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. She also lists support for blended family issues among her areas of focus.

Marjorie sees people who are coping with major life changes, ongoing worry, difficult grieving, and the after-effects of abuse. She uses straightforward conversation to map out what is worrying someone now and what small steps might help. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to address first.

Her background includes work with those affected by intimate partner violence and childhood sexual abuse, and she offers support around suicidal thoughts and bereavement linked to suicide. She describes her role as working alongside people so they can draw on their own resilience and decision-making.

Therapeutic approaches she draws on include client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and trauma-focused methods when past harm is central. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she thinks about patterns that keep repeating.

People considering support can expect a collaborative style where the client identifies priorities. Marjorie aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable steps. She supports people who want practical strategies and reflective space to make changes in their relationships, parenting roles, and everyday life.
