Background and approach

Much of his work has been in inpatient settings since 2016, supporting men with substance use disorder while addressing depression, trauma, and relationship concerns alongside addiction. That background shapes his practical approach to difficult situations. He combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Solution-focused methods are also used to set small, actionable steps toward change. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and values. Mark describes his style as compassionate and interactive.

He aims to give each person an empathetic ear and respectful care while working toward clear goals. He emphasizes collaboration and tailoring sessions to meet individual needs. If someone is ready to start, he supports them in setting realistic goals and finding manageable ways to reach them.

He offers a practical, down-to-earth approach intended to help people move forward from stressful or painful situations.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s priorities. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some stress-related patterns.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on achievable next steps. It helps people identify small changes that move them toward their goals and build momentum quickly.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time if different tools would help more.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who cannot meet in person. These formats let people keep momentum between sessions, try homework or skills in daily life, and meet consistently even with travel or time constraints.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
