More about Marcus

  • 12 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients in many areas such as anxiety, depression, addictive behaviour, relationship issues, trauma, & abuse.

I endeavour to work in an emphathic and non-judgmental way, as I believe that your are the expert on your own life. Counselling is about offering a safe environment for you to talk and explore your own thoughts, feelings and needs. My job is sometimes to simply listen. I believe that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming life challenges.

My priority is for you to arrive at your own meaning, your own answers. Having said that, I am also comfortable in offering my own thoughts, maybe advice or alternative perspectives, if that is appropriate.

It takes courage to recognise the need for support and to take the first steps towards healing and self discovery. Things can and will get better.

I am really looking forward to working with you.

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.
