About Mike
Mike Lloyd is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people talk through relationship strain and life changes. He listens without judgement and focuses on what matters to each person. Mike presents himself as warm and practical and aims to make the first step feel easier.
He draws on six years of professional experience. That background includes work on self-esteem, confidence, motivation and depression. He also supports people facing career uncertainty, anger, intimacy-related problems and issues linked to separation and divorce.
Mike uses straightforward talking therapy alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. In sessions he helps people notice patterns, try small changes and set realistic goals. The emphasis is on simple, doable steps rather than complex theory.
People bring family-of-origin issues, communication difficulties and challenges linked to neurodiversity and intellectual disability. He also offers help for those coping with the effects of natural or human-caused disaster and with life purpose questions. Mike will work at the client pace and keep sessions focused on practical outcomes.
He holds BACP and NCPS credentials as listed and practices in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
How his approaches suit online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects feelings and helps people feel heard. This approach can help when discussing relationships, self-esteem and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be useful for mood, anxiety and anger concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal oriented, concentrating on small, immediate changes and what the client wants to achieve next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work from locations that suit their schedule, and techniques from CBT and solution-focused work transfer well to remote sessions.
