About Mark
Mark Herrera is an ACA counsellor with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and the after-effects of trauma. He offers a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental approach. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps that can be used between appointments.
Mark encourages clients to name what is most pressing and to try small changes that build confidence. He listens for patterns in feelings and behaviour and works with clients to understand how those patterns affect relationships and daily life.
Background and approach
This plain, steady style suits people who want straightforward support rather than complicated jargon. His background includes work with grief and loss, relationship and career difficulties, and challenges tied to major life changes. He also helps people with anger, low self-esteem, motivation and workplace issues.
The emphasis is on realistic, manageable strategies that fit each person’s circumstances. Sessions aim to be a safe, engaging space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Mark uses conversation and problem-solving to identify behaviours that may be getting in the way of goals.
Over time he supports clients to try new responses and measure what helps. People who come for help often want relief from overwhelming worry, clearer communication, or support through a separation or big transition. Mark works at a pace chosen with the client and checks in regularly to adjust the focus as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach is talking through thoughts and behaviours to spot patterns that keep anxiety or anger high; this helps people make small, testable changes in daily life. Another approach concentrates on coping skills and paced exposure to feared situations, which can reduce avoidance and build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mark discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress is made. He treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision, not a fixed prescription, and checks in regularly to ensure the treatment fits the client's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter exchange is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
