Are you feeling unfulfilled, like there is something bubbling inside of you that you can't quite put into words or get hold of? Are you open and curious to discovering what that is? Have you had enough with how life is right now and ready to step into change? Perhaps you have prioritised others for too long and want to step into the fullness that you are. Note: Please know, the relationship in therapy is 75% of positive outcomes. My qualifications mean nothing if you don't feel like I get you. I encourage you to reach out and feel into the shared space we might create.

Hello, My Name is Mark and I am here to offer a confidential, safe and compassionate space for you to simply be. To explore, without fear of judgement, the thoughts and feelings that may be causing you pain and suffering. It could be a recent change that's impacting you, or a long term challenge. I can help you with work related issues, relationship difficulties, loss, bereavement, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, feeling lost, stuck, numb, or maybe a combination of these. Together we will find clarity in the confusion, hope in the despair, and give you the tools to build your own path to a more fulfilling future.

Hello, I'm an accredited CBT therapist. I'm passionate about mental health. I understand that everyone is different and different things work for different people. My training is in CBT, which is mostly about trying to change the way we feel or deal with emotions through looking at our way of thinking and behaving, however I'm also an understanding and compassionate person, I can help with opening up and talking about difficult things. I've had a lot of life experience myself, and also a lot of experience of the process of change. I've studied psychology and philosophy for a long time. I'm willing to help with anything I can.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious or worn down, or if life has become confusing in ways you never expected, you’re not alone. Sometimes things build quietly over time; sometimes they arrive suddenly and leave you feeling unsteady. You might be holding so much inside, trying to keep going, yet still feeling tangled, lost, or far from yourself. Therapy can offer a gentle pause — a place where you can breathe a little more deeply and let your thoughts and feelings settle. There’s no pressure to explain everything at once or to find the “right” way to feel. We simply begin at a pace that feels safe for you.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re tired. And not just the “really need a nap” kind of tired, but the deep, soul-level exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together for too long. Maybe you’re living with chronic illness, trauma, or the quieter kind of pain that’s harder to name but just as heavy to carry. Maybe you’ve spent years being “the strong one” for everyone else and now there’s nothing left in the tank for you. Whatever shape your story takes, you deserve a place to finally tell it and gently set down the weight you’ve been carrying, even if it's just for a little while.

I am also a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, and hypnotherapy can be offered either as a standalone approach or integrated into counselling sessions where appropriate and with your consent.

Do you feel stuck or unable to move on from your past? Perhaps you notice patterns in your relationships or behaviour that feel impossible to change. Are you coping in ways that are no longer serving you? Painful experiences can often lead to us feeling lost and disconnected, which can impact on how we feel about ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. Shame or fear might be getting in the way of you asking for what you need, creating boundaries and telling people how you feel, which might lead to more stuckness. We all get stuck at times, that's very human! And we all need to feel seen, heard & understood.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).

Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
