About Me
I’m Mark, an integrative counsellor based in Bromley, working with people who are feeling anxious, stressed, angry, or simply not quite themselves.
Many of the people I work with are managing on the outside, holding down jobs, relationships, and responsibilities, while inside things feel tense, overwhelming, or exhausting.
I don’t believe you need to be “broken” or at crisis point to come to counselling. Sometimes it’s enough to notice that something doesn’t feel right, or that you’ve been carrying a lot on your own for a long time.
In our work together, I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly, at your own pace and without judgement. There’s no pressure to have the right words or a clear goal.
How I work with clients
People often tell me they feel unsure about starting counselling, especially if they’re used to coping on their own.
I work in a steady, collaborative way. That means we take things at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you, rather than following a fixed agenda.
I won’t tell you what to do or try to analyse you. Instead, I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions that help you reflect, and support you in making sense of what’s been building up over time.
My aim is to offer a space that feels calm, respectful, and grounded, where you can speak openly and begin to feel more like yourself again.

What to expect from your first session
Coming to counselling for the first time can feel like a big step. It’s normal to feel unsure about what will happen, what you’ll be asked, or whether you’ll know what to say.
In our first session, we’ll take things at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no assessment to pass and no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready. We’ll spend some time getting to know what’s brought you here and what you’re hoping for from counselling.
You might want to talk about something specific, or you might just have a sense that things don’t feel quite right. Both are completely fine. My role is to listen carefully, help you reflect on what’s been going on, and begin to understand what support might be most helpful for you.
We’ll also talk through practical details, such as how sessions work, confidentiality, and any questions you may have. By the end of the session, my aim is that you leave feeling a little clearer and more grounded, with a sense of whether working together feels right for you.

How counselling sessions work
Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place on a weekly basis, though this can be adjusted depending on what feels most helpful for you.
I offer:
-
In-person sessions in Bromley
-
Online counselling via secure video call
We can talk together about what feels like the best fit.
Each session is your space. There’s no set agenda and no expectation to talk about anything before you’re ready. Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want to explore; others simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. Both are absolutely welcome.
We’ll go at your pace. Sometimes sessions involve talking things through; at other times, we may slow things down, notice patterns, or explore what’s happening beneath the surface. There’s no pressure to perform or make progress in a particular way.
If you’re unsure whether counselling is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. This gives you a chance to ask questions and get a sense of how I work before deciding whether to book a session.
