About Mike

Mike Lloyd is a counsellor who uses a client-focused approach to help people facing relationship and life-change challenges. He draws on six years of professional experience to support conversations about confidence, motivation and difficult family dynamics.

He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through feelings and decide what matters most. Sessions are practical and conversational, with time spent understanding daily patterns and identifying small changes that can make life feel more manageable.

Mike works with people dealing with intimacy-related worries, anger and career concerns as well as low mood and stress from changing circumstances. He also supports exploration of self-esteem and questions about life purpose, helping people set realistic goals and next steps.

His practice includes approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These are used to tailor sessions to each person - sometimes focusing on thought patterns, sometimes on practical problem-solving, sometimes on creating a trusting space to be heard.

Based in the United Kingdom, Mike holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He aims to make the first steps straightforward and will work with each person to find a rhythm of sessions that fits with their life and aims.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to build trust and clarity; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and what already works so people can move toward their goals more quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that suit the person. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if it is not helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. Because the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can still use the same therapeutic methods online, and sessions are often adapted so practical exercises and goal-setting work well at a distance.
