About Mike
Mike Lloyd is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with six years of professional experience. He focuses on relationship and family matters, confidence and self-esteem, coping with life changes, career concerns, intimacy-related issues and anger. He also works with depression and people looking for practical coaching around motivation and life purpose.
He prefers straightforward conversations that look at what is happening now and what could change. Sessions often focus on clear, practical steps to manage strong feelings and improve communication. He uses Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused approaches to shape those conversations.
In practice he encourages people to talk through their immediate struggles. That might mean noticing patterns that raise tension, testing new ways of speaking with others, or trying short, simple tasks between sessions. He aims for sessions that are direct and focused on real-world improvements rather than abstract theory.
Mike works with people dealing with resentment, repeated arguments, impulsivity or trouble settling after big life shifts. He also supports those navigating family of origin issues, divorce and separation, or the long-term strain of caregiving and aging concerns. His approach suits people who want clear tools and workable next steps.
People can expect a practical tone and collaborative planning in sessions. He invites clients to set goals and to regularly review progress. To begin, clients follow the service's online matching and booking steps to arrange a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping someone feel heard while they sort through difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and setting clear goals to move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring to decide together which method or mix of methods to try. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins or regular weekly meetings. They also allow people to work with a registered professional in the United Kingdom without rearranging their whole day, and can make it simpler to try focused practical tools between appointments.
