About Mark
He aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk about what they are feeling and thinking. Conversations focus on practical next steps rather than jargon. He encourages honesty and steady progress over quick fixes.
Mark uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and build a supportive working relationship. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find and strengthen reasons to change.
Sessions often address anger, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. He also works with issues such as infidelity, jealousy, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, paranoia, and personality disorder symptoms. Career stress and coping with life changes are included in his focus areas.
People who value steady, practical work may find his style a good fit. He invites potential clients to take the first step by using the Start Therapy flow and completing a short matching questionnaire. That begins scheduling based on therapist availability.

How his approaches are used in online work
Mark draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow each person's priorities, creating room for people to say what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, empathic space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and to practice small behavior changes. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and habits that get in the way of daily life.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring their personal reasons and building motivation one step at a time.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If technology or bandwidth is a concern, alternatives can be discussed when arranging sessions to match practical needs.
