Hello, my name is Mark. If you are looking at my profile, the chances are that you are having a difficult time at the moment and wondering what I can do to help you.

I provide an environment which is compassionate and understanding, where you will not be judged and where we will work together to help you understand and then overcome your difficulties.

I will be guided by you as to which difficulties you want to tackle and how you may want to tackle them. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Hypnotherapy. 

Alternatively, you may just want someone totally independent and non judgemental to hear you, to let you speak and find your voice and to help you work through your issues at your own pace, with compassion and empathy.

I also offer sessions to counselling students in training who are required to have therapy sessions as part of their training at a discounted rate (discounted by 20%).

I offer you a free phone call of up to 30 minutes before your first session, which is an opportunity for you to decide whether or not you feel that you can work with me. Finding the right therapist for you is an important part of the overall therapeutic process.

The first session is where we will discuss your issues and agree on a way forward for tackling them. This session will be for you to tell me what is troubling you and for me to gain an understanding of your issues and what I may be able to do to help you.
