Mareike Coakley

Mareike Coakley welcomes people who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, parenting stresses, and major life changes. She helps people who feel stuck, anxious, or unsure about relationships. Mareike offers a calm, well-paced space to talk through painful feelings and confusing situations.

She works in an integrative way and draws on person-centred therapy, transactional analysis and cognitive behavioural approaches to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and making sense of thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Mareike invites all parts of a person to be seen, including anger, shame and loss.

With a background in education, Mareike has experience supporting children, young people and adults. That experience shapes a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them. She uses conversation and simple tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.

Mareike is a BACP member, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. She works from the United Kingdom and holds experience across a range of presentations, including grief, identity questions, relationship ruptures, anxiety and adjusting to new diagnoses.

If someone is unsure what is going on, she helps them map out concerns and set clear, manageable goals. Mareike encourages small steps that lead to clearer thinking, steadier emotions and better day-to-day functioning.
