More about Mark

Drawing from personal experience, I recognize the challenge of seeking appropriate help and support during overwhelming times. As a Relational Counsellor/Psychotherapist, I employ a variety of methods, informed by a deep understanding of trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This includes the intricate aspects of diagnosis, as well as fostering awareness and education about the disorder. I emphasize the concept of Post-Traumatic Growth, which encompasses positive changes following trauma, such as a renewed appreciation for life, improved relationships, new beginnings, personal fortitude, and spiritual transformation. My extensive experience spans various client issues and settings, including domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger management, and the unique challenges faced by military and uniformed personnel in high-risk situations. My tailored approach has consistently proven effective in meeting the individual needs of my clients.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
