Mike Lloyd

Mike Lloyd is a counsellor who uses a straightforward, person-centred approach. He aims to create an open space where people can talk about what matters most to them. He presents as calm and direct, helping clients take practical steps toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

He draws on client-centred methods to listen and reflect back what people bring to sessions. He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, realistic changes that build momentum over time.

Mike has six years of experience working in the UK and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He has supported people dealing with relationships, family problems, low self-esteem, coping with life change and issues around intimacy and anger. He also works with concerns such as career uncertainty, depression and questions about life purpose.

Other areas he can help with include attachment issues, codependency, infidelity, communication problems, divorce and separation, and some developmental or neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and intellectual disability. He adapts his approach to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Mike invites people to make small, achievable steps rather than pushing for overnight fixes. He encourages practical homework between sessions and clear goal-setting. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and then decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try new responses to old patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, achievable steps and builds on what already works for the person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to find which methods match the person's goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based work with practical CBT tasks or short solution-focused experiments, depending on what the client wants to achieve.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and more flexibility around where and when sessions happen. It can make it simpler to schedule a short check-in between commitments or to avoid travel time.

Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt their approach to suit online sessions and to help clients carry progress into everyday life.
