My name is Mark and I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor specialising in Transactional Analysis.
Originally from New Zealand, I settled in the UK 20 years ago and now live near Kelso in the beautiful Scottish Borders, an hour south of Edinburgh.
I have previous experience working in a range of settings as a counsellor, including the NHS and a charity supporting cancer patients and their carers.
Often in life we've gone unnoticed, unrecognised or misunderstood. First, I prioritise deeply listening to you, creating a connection where you feel seen and heard. There's incredible strength in feeling accepted and understood for exactly who you are.
Whether we connect face-to-face or online, my focus remains on creating a genuine connection where your voice and experience matter.
"Mark is an honest compassionate and empathetic therapist. His wisdom and openness helped to clarify my thoughts and feelings during some of the most traumatic experiences. His fundamental support and empowerment has helped me to develop new approaches to aid and manage my emotional and mental wellbeing. I will be eternally grateful to Mark who has helped restore my faith in humanity."
