Hi, I’m Mark. I’m an integrative therapist, PACFA-registered counsellor, and university lecturer. I work with adults (18+) for a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life changes, grief, and a desire for deeper self-understanding. Alongside this broader work, I have particular experience in trauma and complex trauma, addiction and compulsive behaviours, and men’s body image and embodied experience. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming. Whatever brings you here, we can take time to understand what’s happening, what you need, and what you hope to gain, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My training spans a broad range of approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, acceptance and commitment, schema, and trauma-focused therapies, including Flash Technique. I work integratively, drawing on these approaches to offer deeper exploration and practical support, adapting our focus as the work develops.
Starting counselling can feel uncertain. I aim to offer a warm, respectful space where you can speak openly and feel heard. Online counselling offers flexibility, with appointments Monday to Thursday, including after-hours. You’re welcome to arrange a free 15-minute call to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and see whether we might be a good fit.
