About Mike
Mike Lloyd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings six years of professional experience to his work. He aims to help people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, and life transitions. He presents a calm, approachable presence and wants clients to feel heard and respected.
Clients can expect a straightforward, conversational style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him. He listens to current difficulties and helps map small, achievable steps toward change. That might mean looking at thinking patterns, setting practical goals, or practising clearer communication.
Mike draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the client's lead and build trust. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts. Solution-focused methods help people spot immediate changes they can try between sessions.
His caseload has included people dealing with family conflict, career stress, intimacy-related issues and depression. He also works with concerns such as codependency, attachment issues and coping after separation. Mike aims to tailor the approach to each person's situation and pace.
People who choose him often want a realistic plan and practical tools alongside emotional support. He encourages honest conversation and checks progress regularly. The first session is an opportunity to describe the problem and agree next steps.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need time to be heard and to gain clarity about their priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and thought‑checking to tackle low mood, anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy centres on small, specific changes and short-term goals to build momentum and confidence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels useful and agree a plan together based on needs and preferences. That conversation helps shape whether more listening, practical skill-building or short-term goal work will be used.
