About me and my therapy practice

Hi, I'm Mark, thank you for visiting my page. You've taken the first step by visiting this website, keep going as help is not far away!

I am happy to work with anyone over the age of 16, with any diagnosis or issue. All I ask in return is that you try to keep an open mind and genuinely want change or growth.

If needed, I offer a free telephone or online consultation for me to assess your needs and so that we can each decide if we want to work together. Following that we will book our first session. If you can't find the time slot you need, feel free to send me a message I'm sure we can figure that out.

I understand that face to face counselling can be difficult for some people, building trust in the relationship is important so I offer online therapy if you need it.

Practice description

What I can help you with:

Some clients need a space to share their experiences, to vent about work or offload the pressures life brings, others need help with self-esteem. Some have traumatic and life-changing events to carefully unpick and address. Whatever it is that brings you to counselling, we can take the journey together, at your pace and on your terms.

I employ a person centred approach, you can find out more about this commonly used method here: https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/person-centred-counselling

I can also use aspects of CBT or solution focused therapy although this is not my main approach.

I have specific interests in trauma/PTSD, bereavement, emergency and healthcare services staff, ADHD and Autism.

I work with clients face to face or online.

At present, I do not offer couples therapy or work with people under 16 years of age.

I offer a discount for counselling students and some others on request.
