I’m Mark (he/they).  I’m a qualified counsellor with experience of working with a diverse range of clients, to help them work through difficulties and challenges in their lives.

 

I believe in self-determination and empowerment, because when you are more able and confident in yourself, you can get so much more out of life.  When we feel freer of those feelings of anxiety, fear, anger, frustration and despair, they don’t hold us back so much and we can even make them work for us.    

 

I am qualified with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and have practised as a counsellor at METRO in London, working with LGBTQ+ people and those living with HIV, as well as areas of neurodiversity like ADHD (whether or not diagnosed).  My main training is in relational counselling - Petruska Clarkson’s 5 relationship model - and I primarily use a person-centred approach to build a trusting therapeutic alliance, so that the counselling can be effective.

​

I'm also BACP registered 379659 and  I have private and public indemnity insurance through Howdens.
