About Mike
Mike Lloyd uses a straightforward, person-centred approach to help people tackle relationship strain, family tension, low self-esteem and life transitions. He is introduced as a counsellor who aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier. The first step can feel daunting, and he offers steady support as people begin to make changes.
He practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. He also applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused techniques to build clear, practical next steps.
Background and approach
These methods are used to address concerns such as depression, anger, intimacy-related issues and challenges at work. Mike has six years of experience working with people through relationship difficulty, family problems and major life changes. He aims for simple, achievable goals so progress is clear.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than long lectures. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English.
For someone unsure what to expect, he encourages asking questions about how a session will run and what approaches might be tried together. People who want practical help with communication, commitment worries, coping after separation, or finding direction can expect a collaborative style. He invites clients to test out small changes between sessions and then review what helps.
The focus is on steady, manageable steps toward feeling more capable and connected.

How Mike works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for mood problems, anxiety, anger and for practical work on confidence and coping strategies.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and the steps that move a person toward those goals. It suits people who want quick, practical actions to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, preferences and circumstances. That collaborative planning can be adjusted over time as progress and feedback guide the work.
If you are considering online therapy, please check which session formats the therapist offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins and offer alternatives when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt sessions so they are practical and usable alongside day-to-day life.
