About Marc
He offers a calm space to talk through relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating issues, anger, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. He also supports people dealing with trauma, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on finding practical ways forward.
Marc uses a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, mindfulness and Client-Centred Therapy. These are selected in collaboration with the person in front of him, so therapy fits personal goals and preferences.
He holds BACP registration, which reflects his professional standing with that body. Marc aims to respond to messages promptly and asks for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations.
With 14 years of experience working in mental health roles, Marc brings practical knowledge and steady support. He encourages people to try an approach and adjust it if it does not feel right, helping them move toward clearer, more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Marc combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in many sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people dealing with trauma. EMDR uses guided attention to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when that approach feels suitable.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Marc will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. The aim is to find a fit that matches the person's goals and day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also make it simpler to access clinicians from different places, which helps people who need flexible arrangements or who live far from services.
