About me

Hello, my name is Mark and I divide my time between my private practice and working at The Priory. I work with people who are struggling with their mental health. 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 have a specialist interest in addiction and eating disorders. 

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

I believe there isn’t just one therapeutic approach that can help you in all situations. I take into account you as an individual and your circumstances. I use elements of different approaches to help you explore and cope with your problems.

Together we will build a therapeutic relationship. This will support your personal growth and self-discovery. It can help you 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.

By working collaboratively we can enhance your productivity. Improved mental health resulting from therapy can positively impact productivity and performance in various areas of life, including family, work and personal pursuits. Therapy can help you manage stress, increase focus and develop effective coping strategies along with connecting 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 and confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This will help to improve your mental health, reduce stress, and enhance overall emotional well-being.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their strict ethical framework.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
