Mike Lloyd, BACP, NCPS

Mike Lloyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a client-focused style to help people facing relationship and life transition challenges. He combines straightforward conversation with practical tools to help people feel more confident and able to make choices that match their values.

He draws on three main approaches to shape sessions. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's own perspective and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy introduces simple ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, realistic steps that move a person towards clear goals.

Mike has six years of experience working with issues such as depression, career concerns, anger, intimacy difficulties and self-esteem. He also addresses family problems, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and longer-term questions about life purpose and ageing.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. He works with each person to set goals and decide what approaches feel most useful. People can expect direct conversation, feedback, and short exercises or reflections to try between meetings.

Mike is registered with BACP and NCPS and conducts his work in English. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Confirm current session options before booking.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of him. It means listening without judgement, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own answers. This approach is useful for relationship worries, family conflicts and issues around confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can help with depression, anxiety about change, anger and career stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal oriented. It helps people identify clear, small steps that lead to noticeable improvements, useful when someone wants quick practical changes in their relationships or daily routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as needs evolve, and choices are made collaboratively.

The original profile does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or making it easier to schedule around commitments. Registered and accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable.
