Mark Hamilton

I offer online and in-person sessions from my therapeutic space in Weybridge. Weekly and ad hoc sessions are also available. 

Concessions are available. 

I divide my time between working at one of the UK's leading private residential treatment centres for addiction and eating disorders and my private practice. This enables me to work with various mental health challenges.  

Be it depression, anxiety, or the challenges that life can throw at us, together, we will explore the underlying factors that contribute to these challenges. 

I'm an integrative therapist. This means I draw on techniques from different types of therapy to tailor an approach specifically for you. 

Low self-esteem: I am passionate about helping individuals build a stronger, more compassionate relationship with themselves. Low self-esteem can manifest in many areas of life, from difficulties in relationships and work to constant self-criticism and feelings of unworthiness. I understand that these challenges often stem from early life experiences, negative conditioning, or unresolved trauma. My approach combines evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with self-compassion practices to help clients challenge limiting beliefs and cultivate self-acceptance.

Depression: This can feel overwhelming, often leading to feelings of hopelessness, isolation, and a loss of interest in daily life. My approach is client-centred and tailored to each person’s unique experience. I use various techniques to help you challenge negative thought patterns and build healthier coping strategies. Together, we work to identify the underlying causes of depression. We will develop practical tools to manage mood and improve emotional well-being. I aim to help you reconnect with yourself, restore hope, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

We will build a therapeutic relationship. This will support your personal growth and self-discovery. You will be able to better understand yourself, your values, and your goals. Throughout therapy, we can work together to develop strategies to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve personal fulfilment. 

Improved mental health resulting from therapy can positively impact productivity and performance in various areas of your life, including family, work and personal pursuits. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself.

Therapy can assist you in developing healthier communication and coping skills, leading to improved relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. It can also help address conflicts and provide guidance on navigating challenging interpersonal dynamics.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. 

Eating difficulties: we will explore the complex emotions and patterns driving your relationship with food and body image. Eating disorders often stem from deeper emotional struggles, such as low self-esteem, trauma, or a need for control. My approach is to address both the symptoms and the underlying issues. I use proven methods to challenge distorted beliefs, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild a more balanced relationship with food and your body.

Addiction: Do I drink too much? If you are asking yourself this, then we would explore your relationship with alcohol.  I provide a supportive and compassionate environment where individuals can explore the deeper emotional and psychological roots of their substance use or addictive behaviours. I recognise that addiction often arises as a response to unresolved pain, trauma, or feelings of emptiness, and I work closely with clients to uncover these underlying issues. My approach is tailored to each person's unique experience, incorporating techniques to foster self-awareness and promote healthier coping mechanisms.

For clients who resonate with the 12-step model, I integrate the principles of 12-step programs into our work. The structure and community support offered by these programs can be an invaluable resource on the path to recovery, providing a framework for personal growth, and accountability.

 I offer a complimentary initial 20-minute telephone consultation to give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and to see if we are a suitable fit to work together. This is where we start to build the therapeutic relationship.
