Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and calm, and clients are invited to set the pace. Mark has worked with people facing relationship and family difficulties, and with those living with chronic pain, illness or disability. He also addresses issues such as codependency, avoidant or dependent personality traits, commitment worries and problems with communication.

Topics like fatherhood, men's issues, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness are also part of his practice. When someone is nearing the end of life or supporting a loved one through hospice care, Mark provides a space to talk through fears and practical concerns. He is comfortable discussing life purpose and the uncertainty that can come at midlife.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Mark works within the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. To begin, users follow the site Start Therapy process to match and arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in accessible ways. One common approach is short-term problem-focused work that helps people identify patterns and try small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and stress. This method is useful when someone wants clearer steps to feel calmer day to day.

Another approach focuses on talking through relationship and attachment concerns to improve communication and connection. It helps with issues like codependency, commitment worries and problems with closeness by looking at how past experiences shape present interactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to a client's goals, and agree together on what to try first. If something does not fit, the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make access easier. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make it simpler to get regular support while juggling everyday life.
