About Mareike Coakley
Mareike places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a starting point for change, welcoming all parts of a person - including feelings of anger, shame, or emptiness - into the work. Her background in education informs her practice and underpins a particular interest in supporting identity work, family dynamics, and young people navigating stressful transitions.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns to sessions, from bereavement and relationship ruptures to anxiety, suicidal thoughts, new diagnoses, and uncertainty about life direction. Mareike helps people make sense of their experience, notice recurring patterns, and find practical ways to cope and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care
Person-centred work focuses on creating a compassionate, accepting space where clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace - it is useful for building self-esteem and reconnecting with what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems. Transactional Analysis helps people understand patterns in relationships and communication, which can be helpful for addressing attachment issues, family dynamics, and relationship ruptures.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mareike works collaboratively with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without travelling, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy lives and seek help from familiar environments.
