Therapeutic approaches and online support

Mark integrates Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the pace of exploration and develops greater self-understanding and acceptance; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, present-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark takes a collaborative stance - discussing goals, preferences and what feels most helpful to the client before shaping the work together. He adapts methods to fit individual needs rather than applying a single model.

Online therapy with Mark is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not practical.
