Counselling in EN3

Thank you for visiting my profile. I have acquired extensive experience of working alongside adults, adolescents, couples and families. During times of challenge, it can impact us in a variety of ways. Family and Systemic Psychotherapy can be beneficial in creating and supporting an understanding of experiences and views to employ useful changes in relationships.

Most of us experience feelings of sadness, loss, frustration, anger and stress at some time in our lives. It can be extremely difficult to express, understand and resolve these feelings when we are emotionally distressed. It may also be difficult to share some issues with family and friends for fear of being judged or misunderstood. I am here to offer you an empathic and non-judgmental ear. I am a highly experienced psychotherapist, offering a safe, calm and supportive space for you to work through those experiences and feelings, which are preventing you from leading a happy and fulfilling life.

An Experienced NHS counsellor. As a counsellor I will never pretend to know what it is like to be you and in your shoes. What I can say is this: that I will be with you, and we will explore your world together, to truly understand your experience. This is why, you and your experience, will be the centre of our endeavour. You might be afraid of this journey, and you might not always like what you might find. The journey may be scary at times, and you may cry a few tears. However, you must know this: that you will never be alone on this journey. We will trek together.

I opened Ataraxia counselling at the beginning of 2018. Just over a year in and the practice is growing faster than expected. I work with clients with all types of issues and personalities. My experience so far is predominanty mental health as i have worked for Mind in mid Herts and addiction as i also work for ADAS a drug and alcohol agency. If i was to say i had a niche it would be that i can make shy clients feel at ease early on using a relational supportive style of counselling. I would love to welcome new clients to Ataraxia. Look forward to hearing from you. Mark

Are you looking for a safe and confidential space, a place to help you break your silence about the challenges you face? Do you find yourself feeling like you have lost meaning in life or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships? Are you looking for answers or struggling to find alternative ways of solving your current problems? You are not alone; I will provide you with a safe, warm and non- judgmental therapeutic space, where you are not only listened too but also heard and together we can begin to explore things that come up for you.

If you are feeling troubled and are not sure how to move forward it may be a relief to talk things through. I specialise in working with people who have lost someone close, experienced a trauma that haunts them or an unexpected change in life such as a sudden loss, a health, work, or family problem. Difficulties in your relationships or work can cause anxiety, anger and loneliness in daily life and impact your sense of self. Often problems stem from the past, and unhealthy patterns can re-emerge. I can offer a safe space where together we can explore, locate, and work through what is troubling you so as to help you move forward.

In the world we live in life presents us with many difficulties in our everyday functioning. Our personal life, our working environment, difficult experiences from our past , the relationship we have or had with significant others and so on. Being a therapist i am here to assist you with any of the above and much more. Everyone is unique in thier own way and my therapeutic interaction would be tailored to your needs.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults experiencing a range of emotional difficulties. You might be feeling stuck, as if you want something to change but do not know how or what. You might feel depressed, anxious, unfulfilled, and unable to reach your potential. A good therapeutic relationship can help you to understand yourself better, allowing more freedom to thrive.

Each and every one of us needs support at different times in our life, reaching for support is not a weakness but a strength. I am an experienced BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Fusion Therapeutic Life Coach, EFT practitioner, EMDR and REWIND (fast trauma release) therapist, who can support you at a time when you feel overwhelmed, upset or anxious. You will receive confidential, non-judgemental time and space so you can safely relax and focus on you, your solutions and your future.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or maybe confused? Struggling with things and ready to make some changes to improve your life? Let's take the journey together to find clarity, understanding and choices to increase fulfilment.

You may be considering therapy as a result of a very specific difficulty such a relationship issues, a bereavement or low self esteem, or you may be struggling to deal with the day to day difficulties that life brings. You may wish to work with a therapist for a short period of time or you might want to build a longer therapeutic relationship. This may be your first experience of therapy or you might be returning to therapy following previous experiences. Any of these scenarios are welcome.
