Mark Palmer , BACP

Mark Palmer is a Person-Centred counsellor with three years of clinical experience who helps people navigate emotional challenges and life transitions. He offers a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace, and he focuses on helping people move from feeling overwhelmed or stuck toward greater clarity and self-acceptance.

Having personal experience of living with ADHD, Mark understands the realities of racing thoughts, self-doubt, and the pressure to keep up. He combines that lived perspective with professional training to offer practical, relatable support for anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult life changes, and related concerns. His approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can uncover their own strengths and build confidence over time.

Mark holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to professional standards. He practices in the United Kingdom and is not currently accepting new clients, though his work centers on helping people find clearer direction, improved self-understanding, and greater emotional resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy prioritizes the client’s own experience, offering a supportive, empathic environment where the individual leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and support through life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them. It is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and patterns that maintain stress or avoidance.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships, offering insight that can help resolve recurring emotional difficulties. Mark draws on these approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. A therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging makes it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, a range of communication styles, and continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
