Mark Palmer, BACP

Mark Palmer is a counsellor who trained in a person-centred approach and has three years of practice. He offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure. His own experience of living with ADHD informs how he listens and responds, bringing everyday understanding alongside professional knowledge.

He focuses on common midlife concerns such as career shifts and coping with life changes, and also helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are framed around whatever someone brings, with time to slow down and make sense of racing thoughts or persistent worry.

Mark draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That mix allows practical skills for day-to-day coping, while also looking at patterns that repeat over time. He keeps language plain and uses examples people recognise rather than technical terms.

His style is collaborative and steady. People can expect conversational sessions where the counsellor reflects back what he hears and helps name options or small steps. He aims to help people find clarity, build confidence and increase self-acceptance in ways that fit their life.

Mark practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. People who choose to start do so through the site’s matching process and subscription model, which can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and responding without judgement. It helps people who need a calm space to make sense of feelings and build self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that feel most useful. That might mean trying practical tools first, or spending time tracing longer-standing patterns; decisions are made together as the work unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone pause or reflect in the moment and then pick up work where it suits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tasks to everyday life, helping people build skills and insight without rearranging their whole routine.
