Explanation

Mark has a calm and approachable way about him that made me feel at ease. Over time it was like I was visiting a friend. The therapy sessions were thought-provoking, science-backed and gave me the ability and confidence to start questioning my thoughts and behaviours and to gradually amend them to benefit my overall outlook. Mark worked holistically with me and I felt listened to, guided and comfortably led into my new ways and I have left therapy for now knowing I can return if I ever want to or feel the need to and I feel empowered with a new toolkit to face each day and any issues that come my way.

I have had 15 therapy sessions with Mark regarding my anxiety and OCDs. Mark is very professional and a fantastic therapist. He is very good at listening and adapting the therapy path to his patients. I recommend Mark to anyone looking for a therapy.

I can really recommend Mark. Most of our sessions were online, although when I was in London I met him for a few face-to-face sessions too (long before the lockdown). I had a difficult childhood and have seen many therapists over the years. Mark is the first person I recommend to anyone. He has a caring and helpful attitude and is really insightful. I felt he really helped me see what I needed to see. I was keen to find practical long-term solutions, and Mark did not make me talk about my childhood (which was something I really did not want to do all over again) - instead he helped me discover certain ways of thinking I had which were not helpful for me. I feel lucky to have found such a helpful therapist. Mark is quick thinking and instead of getting caught up in the "story" of whatever I was telling him, he would be able to spot patterns or ask a question which made really open my eyes to something which had never occurred to me. He would not tell me what to think or what to do, but his questions were always spot on. Mark, I will be forever very grateful - thank you for all your help.

Excellent! I found Mark through the Aviva Preferred Providers list and he has been incredibly helpful. I sought help for stress and anxiety which were getting unmanageable and starting to ruin my life. He is professional, knowledgeable and has absolutely helped me reduce my anxiety levels. After 11 sessions I am in a much, much better place and have a different outlook.

Following a GP referral for Anxiety and Depression Mark has helped me immensely. We have worked together now for 3 months and in that time my symptoms have reduced significantly. I feel like myself again and am doing much better in Covid lockdown than I would have done without therapy! I found some of the practical elements especially beneficial. I definitely recommend working with Mark.

Explanation

Following a referral with a diagnosis of PTSD after a bad car accident I saw Mark for about 3 months. He has a warm and friendly style and explained things clearly. The work was challenging at times, however it has helped me tremendously. I am no longer having awful flashbacks and can do the things I used to do...I have also now driven again. A very positive experience.

I had a fantastic experience with Mark. Before I was referred by my GP I hadn't considered attending therapy - I'd always viewed it as something that other people did. But Mark was very patient and understanding and got me to a stage where I felt comfortable discussing my condition. I can honestly say that this therapy has changed my life significantly for the better, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mark to anyone.

Mark is an excellent therapist. He was able to help me get myself from a pretty dark place to somewhere far better. I have previously received CBT within the NHS, but it was of limited value for me and felt too rigid. My work with Mark felt far more human and flexible and I felt he got me and understood me. He is attentive, personable and professional.

I felt very anxious about approaching anyone with my issues as i felt they were too personal for someone to understand and help me. I took the leap to approach Mark and he handled my situation perfectly in my eyes. He took the time to understand and learn all the other characters that were invloved, made me feel at ease and took our time. I spent a few months seeing Mark and i can genuinely say i am in a much better place as a result.
