Testimonials
"Mark helped me to work through some issues in my life with great patience and kindness. He asked excellent questions and made me feel truly listened to. I finished counselling with Mark feeling a more confident and empowered person. I also really appreciated how Mark made me feel empowered to begin and end counselling on my own terms, not feeling pressured in any way. I felt relaxed and valued in his company. I'd strongly recommend Mark to anyone seeking therapy."

Taking therapy online can feel like a barrier but that wasn’t the case at all with Mark! He created a perfectly compassionate, judgment-free space for us to explore issues I was facing. His delicate balance of offering a listening ear, thoughtful insight, and knowledgable theories helped me work through everything I needed in a valuable and mindful way. Throughout every session I felt understood and accepted thanks to Mark’s kind and curious approach. I am very appreciative and grateful for Mark’s support throughout!

When I reached out to Mark I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew I needed help. Mark created space for me to feel my feelings, to build my self-esteem and self-acceptance. I left therapy with a better, kinder understanding of myself and past traumas, alongside practical tools, resources and a self-confidence I had never imagined for myself.

“Talking with Mark has been incredibly easy. He created a comfortable environment that really helped me feel secure enough to explore uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. From our initial phone conversation I got the sense that he understood the points I was trying to make even when I didn't have the language to articulate them properly, which was often the case! All this to say, I am so glad that I reached out to talk with Mark, it really has been a positive experience. I've felt seen, heard and supported by him and honestly I can't overstate the importance of that in our sessions.”

Mark brings humanity, warmth and humour to his psychotherapeutic practice.
I have appreciated his lightness over the past year. I ended therapy feeling stronger and more hopeful.

I have tried various therapeutic services in the past and have always struggled to find a practice that works for me. From the get-go, Mark was fantastic at working with me to discover what I was hoping to achieve in the sessions. He is both patient and adaptive; always communicating the 'why' behind any suggested practice. Mark has taught me a great deal in a relatively short space of time and I am very grateful for the sessions.

I really valued my time working with Mark and have been able, with his help, to make huge steps towards living more authentically.
The information I was given before starting therapy was clear and easy to understand.
I found Mark’s approach to therapy of ‘reflecting’ back to you your thoughts to be immensely helpful, and for the first time during therapy felt ‘heard’.
What I found particularly valuable was the lack of therapy jargon- sessions felt much less ‘clinical’ than my previous experiences of therapy!

“Embarking on my first therapy experience with Mark was a transformative journey. Initially sceptical, I discovered a safe space to navigate life's complexities. Mark guided me through family trauma, addiction, and existential dilemmas. With some personal goals for the sessions, his approach helped me shift focus from intellectualizing emotions to truly feeling them. I've unearthed profound insights, embracing a fuller, more authentic life. Steering my own ship with his compassionate guidance, I've overcome fears, found emotional resonance, and am on a path of genuine fulfilment. While I'm sure I will return to therapy at some point, whether with Mark or someone else, for now, as an introduction to therapy, I am very grateful for this unexpected voyage. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark's expertise.”

When I first started my sessions with Mark, I wasn’t sure if counselling would work for me. One year later, How wrong I was! Looking back, I am now in a happier, healthier position than I was before starting these sessions.
Mark was always willing to adapt his methods to suit me, and I always felt that I was being heard and listened to. Every session was held at a pace I set and felt comfortable with, and I was able to see Mark as little or as much as I felt necessary. Through the various techniques and discussions we had, I was able to make a real impact on my life for the better. Needless to say, I would not be in the position I am in now without Marks help and support.

Mark, my first experience with one-on-one therapy, surpassed my expectations as a therapist. Initially daunting, he transformed our sessions into a day I eagerly looked forward to. Mark's unwavering professionalism and punctuality created a sense of trust and comfort. Through thought-provoking questions, he guided me to reflect on the issues I brought to him. His ability to boost my self-esteem with genuine compliments for work well done was truly appreciated. Even though our sessions have concluded, I know he would be my first call if I ever needed additional support.
- Client
Mark was a kind and compassionate guide throughout, and offered helpful and varied techniques when appropriate. The way the sessions unfolded felt natural and spontaneous, yet taken as a whole, there was a clear structure and the sense of a connecting journey. I was left with a new perspective on my current situation, and a feeling of hope and openness towards the future. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark for anyone working through difficult or overwhelming emotions.
- Client
"Throughout all of my sessions with Mark I felt listened to, understood and in a safe space to explore vulnerable situations and memories. Mark led our sessions with up most professionalism and it felt that each week I would make progress through Marks support and guidance. One of the main reasons I decided to work with Mark was due to them being an LGBTQ+ advocate and I felt safe to explore my recently discovered sexuality within our sessions. Marks work space was always welcoming too and felt comfortable, warm and inviting as a safe space."
