Hi, I'm Mark, a person centered counsellor based in Colchester, Essex. Counselling should always be a journey in which you come to a greater understanding of yourself and the issues that concern you. I work with individuals, couples, families and young people aged 11-18 and can offer you 16 yrs of counselling experience to help with a wide range of issues.
I use varied counselling styles including Person-Centred and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I also use an assertiveness coaching approach which helps people in "toxic relationships" where they need to put boundaries in place, helping them become less angry, or for others, less passive. Many people find it liberating to talk to someone outside of their immediate circle, who really wants to listen and enter into their world without judgement.
I am someone who will seek to understand, challenge you gently and work with you to help you find solutions to move forward in a realistic way.

Services
People seek counselling for many reasons.
Some struggle with an immediate issue; a change in circumstances or a bereavement, which can cause depression or anxiety.
Others face traits of behaviour they feel unable to tolerate any longer i.e; anger issues, or addictions which usually mask a deeper cause.
My job is to help the you get to the core issues, so you can feel and function in a healthy manner and relate to yourself and others without hiding behind a mask.
For some people a few sessions is all they require to gain some clarity by talking to someone neutral who can give an objective insight.

I work primarily with three styles of counselling.
The first is person-centred.
This involves really listening to the client and reflecting back what they are expressing to me in various ways.
This can help the client to understand their thought process and can sometimes lead to those 'lightbulb moments' where they start to see things with clarity.
This style relies on the importance of building a relationship of trust which is respectful and accepting of the client and where they are presently.

My 16 years of experience has brought a vast number of clients to me, who suffer through not being assertive enough.
This can manifest itself in one of two ways, through aggression or passivity.
Some people display aggression, when they react from their feelings rather than respond through their thinking, which often results in a more assertive approach, dissipating anger and creating a win-win outcome.
Very often these clients may be 'too nice' for their own good and are very often sent to counselling by others, when they are not really the problem, it's the other people in their lives.
