About me
Hello, I am Mark. I am an accredited Core Process Psychotherapist and a registered supervisor. I work with clients from my practice at Seale-Hayne near Newton Abbot and online.
As a psychotherapist, I am experienced in supporting clients with a range of needs, including mental health, complex trauma, challenging life events and issues concerning identity, direction and meaning. I offer short-term and long-term therapy, in-person and online. You can find out more about my work below.
I also provide supervision for psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches, and for professionals involved in education.
If you would like to have an initial conversation about your situation, we can arrange a brief telephone call. If appropriate, this can be followed with a free introductory in-person meeting to explore if working together could be right for you. Anything you share will be confidential.
If you wish to get in touch, please contact me. I aim to respond to you within 48 hours.

Further information
Psychotherapy with me provides a non-judgemental and confidential space where you can explore whatever is on your mind. I will welcome you – as you are – with empathy and compassion.
You can find support to work with the effects of trauma, difficult life events, and unfulfilling patterns and also to recognise your strengths, resources, and opportunities.
My approach includes the many layers of our experience and honours the underlying health and sanity in our nature.
I hold a Masters Degree in Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP), which is one of the original mindfulness-based psychotherapy trainings.
The Buddhist practice of mindfulness, or present-moment awareness, enables the possibility of bringing into consciousness a much broader experience than we might ordinarily notice.
This rich picture can include bodily sensations, subtle feelings, overlooked emotions, mind states, soul qualities and unrealised thoughts, all of which can support a greater understanding of ourselves. There is wisdom in this understanding that can help us overcome the confusion that ultimately causes our suffering.
Part of the therapeutic process involves establishing or strengthening inner resources that support mental and emotional health, such as being able to self-regulate and appropriately engage different parts of our nervous system, developing witness awareness, and opening to the support of others.
Once established, these resources become invaluable to us, both in and outside of therapy.
A long-standing practice of self-enquiry and embodied meditation, in the Buddhist tradition, support me in my work. I have regular supervision and my own personal psychotherapy.
Other significant influences are nature, body-psychotherapy, Jungian psychology, anthroposophy, transpersonal psychology, developmental psychology, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
