Hello, I'm Mark. I'm a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor, Life Coach and Bereavement Counsellor, with more than 22 years' experience supporting people through difficult times, life changes and personal challenges. My approach is grounded in the belief that being genuinely heard, understood and accepted can make a profound difference. I don't see you as a problem to be fixed, or believe that there is a set formula for how you should live your life. Instead, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is most important to you.

My approach to Counselling  I primarily work from a Person-Centred perspective. This means that you remain at the centre of our work and that we explore your experience together, at your own pace. In the sessions, we may explore thoughts, feelings, beliefs and habit patterns that have developed through your life and continue to influence how you experience yourself and the world. 

My work is also informed by Presence, mindfulness and reflective awareness approaches, as well as my study and interest in Jungian Psychology and personal development. I believe that greater self-awareness can create new possibilities. When we begin to understand ourselves more deeply, we may find that we have more choice than we previously realised. 

My experience  Over the years I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties and variable life circumstances, including anxiety, stress, low mood, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, life transitions and feeling stuck or uncertain about the future. I have also worked as a volunteer counsellor with Age UK and Cruse Bereavement Care, supporting people through later-life issues and experiences of loss.

You don't have to have it all worked out. You don't need to arrive at Counselling knowing exactly what is wrong or what you need to change. Sometimes we simply know that something isn't right. Perhaps you're now feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed or uncertain about where your life is heading. You can bring that uncertainty with you. My role is to listen, help you explore what is happening and provide a space in which your own understanding and sense of direction can emerge.
