About Mike

Mike Lloyd is a counsellor who follows a client-centred approach. He aims to make sessions feel open and non-judgemental so people can talk about what matters most to them. He frames therapy as a shared process and encourages small, realistic steps towards change.

He has six years of professional experience and has worked with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem and low motivation. He also supports those navigating big life transitions and career-related concerns. His background combines person-focused listening with practical tools when they are helpful.

Sessions start by finding out what the client wants to work on and what feels most useful to them. Where helpful, he may draw on cognitive behavioural strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. The emphasis stays on the person’s priorities rather than fitting people into a fixed method.

Mike aims to build a calm space where difficult feelings can be named and examined. He invites straightforward conversation about intimacy, anger, commitment and issues linked to family of origin. He also has experience with topics such as autism, attachment and codependency.

He offers appointments in the United Kingdom and works in English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Mike’s practice is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on listening and following the person’s lead. This approach helps when people want a space to talk through relationship worries, family matters or life changes without being steered by the therapist.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is also part of his toolkit and offers practical ways to spot and test unhelpful thoughts. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and can speed up progress when someone needs immediate, concrete changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant to the person’s needs and try methods that match their goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as therapy continues to ensure the work stays useful.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and keep sessions to manageable lengths. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when needed.
