Mike Lloyd
Practical, empathic support for relationship and life changes
About Mike
Mike Lloyd uses a client-centred approach to help people talk about difficult relationship and life issues. He aims to create an open space where someone can say what they think and feel without judgment. Mike values a straightforward, supportive way of working that helps people take practical steps forward.
He combines client-centred care with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often balance listening and understanding with small, practical changes to try between meetings.
Background and approach
CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Solution-focused work highlights strengths and quick steps that build on them. Mike has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
He has supported people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem, anger, intimacy questions and career concerns. He also works with issues such as coping with life changes, depression and commitment worries. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and life purpose.
He also has experience with ageing and geriatric issues, intellectual disability, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions are offered in English and take place online via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor stays non-judgmental and follows the person's lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of their relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought that lead to distress and tests small changes in behaviour. It is useful for worries about self-esteem, depression, anger and coping with life changes. Solution-focused therapy looks for strengths and next steps, aiming for quick, practical progress when someone wants forward movement rather than long reviews of the past.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as work progresses. That way each person shapes how therapy is delivered.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
