Connect with Marcus Backman
Hi, I'm Marcus, a Melbourne-based psychotherapist and counsellor. I work in a person-centred and integrative way using Emotion Focused Therapy to help people reconnect with parts of self, others, and life; understand and process emotional pain from the past; and build self-awareness and resilience in facing stress and adversity. Through this process, you will be able to engage with your life in a new more balanced way with more agency, resulting in a more meaningful and vital life.
My approach offers a warm, affirming, non-judgemental, compassionate, trauma-informed safe base for you to build awareness of your presenting concerns, process and transform emotions, and cultivate a more engaged, authentic and fulfilling life. Your experience and inner process will guide us as we work collaboratively to find your way forward.
Experienced in sitting in both the therapist's chair and the client's chair, I understand how hard it can be to engage in therapy. It is vulnerable to take the first step of reaching out, but it can be truly transformative in your journey of healing and growth. Whatever is going on for you, no matter how hard it feels, I am here to support you.
