As your counsellor, I can help you by listening to whatever is troubling you and my aim is to help you to explore and understand the events or situation that have prompted you to seek help. I can help you explore any kind of problem, whether it is trying to make sense of a past life experience that is causing you some emotional pain, or a current problem that you are finding hard to cope with on your own, or perhaps a fear of something in the future which is holding you back. I strongly believe that having a safe space to talk, without judgment, can help you get clarity and empower you to move forward and make clear decisions about what you can do to improve your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Good listener and communicates well with feedback and keeps up to date with trying to solve problems that I may find difficult to comprehend. I think he is definitely recommendable for anyone wanting to get into counselling.
Mark has been a brilliant help to me. He really listens and is very understanding. I felt heard and appreciated, and he helped me work through some issues and create some techniques for dealing with my problem. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
Mark genuinely makes me feel heard during our meetings, I’ve been through many challenges in my life recently and he’s listened to every one of them with an open mind and has made me feel heard in every way.
Thank you so much for everything Mark. You are really calm and understand and so non judgemental. I am so glad I spoke to you.
