As your counsellor, I can help you by listening to whatever is troubling you and my aim is to help you to explore and understand the events or situation that have prompted you to seek help. I can help you explore any kind of problem, whether it is trying to make sense of a past life experience that is causing you some emotional pain, or a current problem that you are finding hard to cope with on your own, or perhaps a fear of something in the future which is holding you back. I strongly believe that having a safe space to talk, without judgment, can help you get clarity and empower you to move forward and make clear decisions about what you can do to improve your life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mark has been a brilliant help to me. He really listens and is very understanding. I felt heard and appreciated, and he helped me work through some issues and create some techniques for dealing with my problem. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
Mark genuinely makes me feel heard during our meetings, I’ve been through many challenges in my life recently and he’s listened to every one of them with an open mind and has made me feel heard in every way.
Thank you so much for everything Mark. You are really calm and understand and so non judgemental. I am so glad I spoke to you.
