Mark is a registered counselling therapist (candidate) with over five years of experience in the mental health field, including two and a half years of practice in the UK. He holds a Master of Science in Counselling & Psychotherapy and has completed additional certification in Emotion-Focused Therapy. His clinical experience spans a wide range of age groups—including adolescents and adults—and includes work in diverse settings.

Before relocating to Nova Scotia, Mark led the delivery of counselling and psychotherapy services for adolescents in a UK high school. He also provided support to individuals in palliative care and to family members coping with grief and loss.

Mark believes that individuals possess the inner capacity to develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of living. His goal is to support clients in accessing their own strengths and resources to navigate life’s challenges and foster meaningful change.

His therapeutic approach blends emotion-focused and compassion-based methods, aiming to promote holistic well-being—emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Mark specializes in helping clients work through painful or limiting emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours that may be keeping them stuck.

He offers a balanced style of therapy, combining open, exploratory dialogue with targeted, evidence-based interventions tailored to each client’s needs and preferred way of processing. He values transparency in the therapeutic relationship and encourages ongoing collaboration to ensure the work remains aligned with each client’s goals.

In addition to individual therapy, Mark also works with couples experiencing distress, disconnection, or recurring patterns of conflict. Drawing on Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy and techniques from the Gottman Method, he helps partners better understand their relational patterns and the emotional needs beneath them—often centered around connection, safety, and identity. He is passionate about helping couples strengthen their emotional bond and improve the ways they relate to one another.

Mark is currently welcoming new clients for individual or couples therapy, with both in-person and virtual sessions available.
