Mike Lloyd offers a straightforward, person-centred way of working that puts the client at the centre of sessions. He uses practical conversation and gentle challenge to help people sort through relationship strains, family problems and low self-esteem. His approach is relaxed and focused on what the client wants to change.

Mike has six years of experience in counselling and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

Background and approach

He has supported people with career uncertainty, depression and coping with life changes. In sessions Mike blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means he listens closely, helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and works towards clear practical steps.

Conversations are aimed at small, manageable changes rather than lengthy theory. He also works with issues such as intimacy-related difficulty, anger, infidelity and codependency. Mike can support people dealing with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, or the strain that comes from major life transitions.

He uses coaching-style questions when clients want action and planning. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and an appointment is scheduled according to availability.

How Mike’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood; the counsellor offers a warm, non-directive presence so people can talk through what matters most. This can help with relationship worries, family tension and self-esteem by allowing thoughts and feelings to be explored at the client’s pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change reactions. It is useful for depression, anxiety linked to life change, and problems where behaviour patterns keep causing trouble.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear goals and finding practical steps forward. It is goal-orientated and works well when someone wants short-term change or coaching-style support.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods seem most useful, try techniques in session and adjust based on the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker if bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices give flexibility for different schedules and practical circumstances.
