Mark Barren

I practice online and from a therapy room in Streatham, SW16. I currently have availability across the week. 

You can message me from this page to enquire about availability and arrange a 15-minute, no-cost, no-obligation conversation about what brings you to therapy and what you might be looking for.

I offer a small number of low-cost sessions for those on lower incomes, please ask.

Hello, I'm Mark.

Life can feel tough at times and feelings can begin to overwhelm us.  Perhaps you find yourself here because you are feeling anxious, or angry, or sad, and can't quite put your finger on why.  Perhaps you are finding relationships hard or are in a particularly challenging  stage of your life.

I offer a calm, holding and empathic space in which clients can create awareness and understanding of the feelings and emotions that hold them back and block how they would like to live their lives.  My holistic, relational and non-judgemental approach provides an environment for clients to explore the here-and-now challenges of life and reflect on them in the context of their full life experience.

I recognise that coming to therapy, particularly for the first time, can be a daunting experience and provide a safe, warm and confidential space for clients to explore the difficult moments and challenges they are experiencing in life.

As an Integrative counsellor I draw on a number of approaches, and sessions are tailored to the needs of each individual client. I believe strongly in the values of autonomy, choice & responsibility and hold that we all have the internal resources to find solutions that can lead to meaningful change.

I hold a Diploma in Counselling from The Minster Centre and am currently studying for my MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am DBS checked and hold full liability insurance

I offer a free, 15-min phone or online session which gives a chance to meet and talk a little about what brings you to therapy at this time and what you might be looking for.  It also provides an opportunity to explain how I work and discuss next steps.

If you would like to continue after this meeting, our first session will be a 60-90 min initial consultation in which we will talk in more detail about your background, family & relationship history, life right now and what you would like to work towards in therapy.

After this consultation we will meet weekly for a 50 minute therapy session

I currently have Wednesday availability for my face to face practice on Lonsdale Road, Queens Park, NW6.  

If you require other availability I offer online and face to face sessions from my therapy room in Streatham SW16.
