About Mike
Mike Lloyd is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with six years of experience. He works with adults on relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy-related issues, anger and depression. He also offers coaching around career and life purpose.
He favours a direct, practical style in sessions. He helps people sort through communication problems and family of origin issues. He also addresses more specific concerns such as infidelity, commitment issues and coping after separation.
Mike uses client-centred methods to listen closely to what matters to each person. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to build different habits. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set realistic short-term goals and track small wins.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps. People work on what feels most pressing - for example improving conversations at home, handling anger, or rebuilding confidence after a relationship break. Practical exercises and steady review of progress are common parts of his approach.
He works in English and does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Mike uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person's priorities at the centre of the conversation. This involves listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and following their lead to identify what matters most. It is helpful for clarifying feelings and deciding what to tackle next.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for tackling low mood, anxiety, anger and unhelpful patterns in relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and build on small changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. That collaborative decision is reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change if needed.
If you want to know about session formats, please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a lunchtime break, and it means practical exercises and homework can be shared between meetings.
