Hello, I’m Mark Palmer, a Person-Centred Counsellor with three years of experience helping people navigate life’s ups and downs. I create a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions.
I understand what it’s like to struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, and feeling overwhelmed. I live with ADHD myself, so I know how it feels to have racing thoughts, self-doubt, and the pressure to ‘keep up.’ My personal experience, combined with my training, allows me to support others in a way that feels real and relatable.
I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and heal in their own time. My role is to walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and self-acceptance.
If you’re looking for someone who gets it and can offer a space where you feel truly heard, I’d love to support you on your journey.

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.

Absolutely incredible therapist, couldn’t recommend better!
Had done therapy previously and was hesitant about starting again with a new therapist but mark made me feel very comfortable and confident straight of the bat. Can’t recommend enough
Mark is incredibly easy to speak to and supportive, he helps you see things in totally different ways when you truly need it. Highly recommend
Found my sessions with Mark a great help and am gaining a lot of benefit from my sessions with him.
Really excellent, listens and responds and applies experience and expertise very well
Absolutely a great guy and listens to everything I have to say. Really helped me in the first weeks of my grief
Extremely understanding and listening therapist. Always tries to get me to get to the root of my problems.
Mark has been great and listening and allowing me the space to work through my thoughts and problems, offering support and advice where needed and asking questions that make me examine what’s going on in my head.
Good match, only had two sessions but felt comfortable off the bat
Mark is a warm, professional therapist who strikes the perfect balance between challenging me when I need it and giving me space to reflect. He’s compassionate and thoughtful in his approach, and our sessions are not just productive—they're often genuinely enjoyable. Mark has a unique way of helping me connect the dots in my life that I’ve overlooked for years. His guidance is broad enough to give me room to explore, yet precise enough to lead to real solutions. His caring, curious, and open style has helped me work on things I didn’t even realise needed attention. Mark’s active listening skills are exceptional, and I always leave feeling truly heard. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a kind, experienced, and authentic therapist.
Mark is an extremely nice guy, very professional, but has such a warm personality that I am comfortable opening up to him. I was very sceptic about therapy, but he has made the entry to it very easy, and on top of our scheduled meetings, he is more than happy to talk on the chat page and replies in good time. Would strongly recommend him.
