About me

About Me

Hello, I’m Mark — a full-time therapist providing online therapy for adults across the UK. I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, giving you the flexibility to explore what feels right for you. Working exclusively online means you can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space, wherever you are.

My Approach
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, uncertain, or directionless. During these times, therapy can offer a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening. Together, we can explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My aim is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and find ways to move forward that feel meaningful and authentic to you.

Getting Started
If you’re thinking about starting therapy and would like to see whether it might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch by email. We can arrange an initial meeting to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you hope to gain from it, and whether I’m the right therapist to support you. I’ll also be happy to answer any questions you have about how therapy works.

There’s no obligation to continue after the first meeting — it’s simply a chance to get a sense of what working together might be like. If we both decide to go ahead, we can then arrange regular weekly sessions. Including your general availability in your message can help us find a suitable time more quickly.

Finding Support

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, or difficulties in your relationships, seeking support can be an important first step in creating change. Therapy offers a space to pause and make sense of what’s happening in your life.

My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, understanding, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. Together, we can work toward a deeper understanding of yourself and find ways to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
