Hi, I'm Mark, thank you for visiting my page. You've taken the first step by visiting this website, keep going as help is not far away! What I can help you with: Some clients need a space to share their experiences, to vent about work or offload the pressures life brings, others need help with self-esteem.

I work with clients face to face or online. At present, I do not offer couples therapy or work with people under 18 years of age.

My ideal clients are individuals or couples who feel emotionally or relationally stuck, unsettled, or caught in painful patterns. They may be dealing with anxiety, shame, trauma, loss, intimacy difficulties, trust ruptures, family conflict, or repeated arguments that no longer feel workable. Often they come at a point of rupture or transition, or simply because something doesn’t feel right. They want greater clarity, emotional freedom, stronger boundaries, deeper understanding, and more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

If you need to talk I’m here to listen. Most clients get in touch due to anxiety, depression & work stress. More recently I've noticed a lot more men are getting in contact, committing to therapy and seeing significant improvements - its great to see more men benefiting from counselling. If you reach out to me, I'll do my best to help. I'm an approachable Person Centred counsellor. I work individually with adult clients (18+). Often when we face issues we can't resolve on our own we can feel stuck, frustrated and angry. We can also be highly self critical. Overthinking can leave us exhausted. You don't have to face this alone.

Male Counsellors

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
