Mike Lloyd, BACP, NCPS

Mike Lloyd offers a straightforward, person-centred approach to therapy. He puts the client's experience first and creates space to talk about what matters. Conversations are plain and focused on making small, practical changes that build confidence and direction.

He uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and identify immediate steps that move someone forward.

Over six years of practice in the United Kingdom have given him experience with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and intimacy-related issues, family problems, self-esteem, anger, career choices and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with depression and those exploring life purpose.

Mike works with people affected by attachment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems and the effects of divorce or separation. He has also helped clients where intellectual disability, autism or antisocial personality traits are part of their situation.

Sessions aim to be direct and practical. The therapist and client set clear goals and review progress together. People who want coaching-style direction alongside talking therapy may find his approach useful.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and practical change

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. This approach helps people feel heard and better identify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches simple techniques to test and change those patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and finding small steps that lead to visible progress.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and choose methods together with the client based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for full conversations, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits brief check-ins and messaging lets people keep a conversation going between meetings. These formats help people access therapy from different locations and at different times, supporting flexibility and continuity of care.
