About Mareike
Mareike Coakley helps people who are struggling with grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She is a BACP counsellor working from the United Kingdom. Mareike writes in a straightforward way and aims to make therapy easy to access and understand.
She keeps sessions practical and grounded. Conversations focus on what feels most difficult right now and on small steps that can make a difference. Mareike welcomes emotions that can feel hard to sit with, such as shame, anger or emptiness, and she supports people as they make sense of those feelings.
Background and approach
Her background includes experience in education and in supporting children, young people and adults. That range informs a flexible, person-centred style that adapts to each individual's needs and pace. Mareike combines different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people explore patterns and try out new ways of coping.
People come to her for a variety of concerns beyond the main specialties, including attachment issues, family of origin problems, divorce and separation, chronic pain or illness, cultural and multicultural concerns, and questions about life purpose. She also works with issues such as guilt, forgiveness, isolation and coping after relationship rupture.
Mareike offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She is a Registered Member of the BACP, which is noted as BACP. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
She may also use elements of transactional analysis to help people notice interaction patterns and roles they fall into. That approach helps with relationship difficulties and understanding recurring behaviours. Each approach is used as a tool rather than a fixed method, chosen to suit the person's needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is an ongoing conversation, and sessions can be adjusted as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and have a fuller conversation, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
