Counselling for Men in South London
Hello, and welcome. I’m Mark.
If you’ve found your way here, something has probably been weighing on you for a while. You might be holding it together at work and at home, and nobody would guess. You might not even be sure what’s wrong, just that you don’t feel like yourself.
I’m a BACP Accredited counsellor, and most of the people I work with are men who are used to sorting things out on their own. Counselling is a place to stop doing that for an hour, and to talk to someone who’ll listen properly and won’t judge.
You don’t need to know what to say. A free 15-minute call is a good place to start.

SIGNS COUNSELLING COULD HELP
Does any of this sound familiar?
-
You feel permanently switched on, or wake up early in the morning worrying.
-
You’re functioning, but on autopilot.
-
You keep looking for reassurance from other people, but it never seems to last.
-
You’re snapping at people you love, or feel angrier than you used to.
-
You’re drinking, scrolling or working more than you’d like.
-
You feel like a fraud at work.
-
You’ve lost touch with what you actually want.
A lot of the men I see wouldn’t describe themselves as anxious. They tell me they’re constantly thinking, analysing and worrying about decisions. They’ve got very good at coping on the outside, and they’re exhausted.
WHO I WORK WITH
Usually the person everyone else leans on
My clients are mostly men in their 20s to 60s, often professionals and often senior. Some come because something specific has cracked. Others come because nothing has, they’ve just realised they can’t keep doing things the way they have been.
Quite a few arrive a bit sceptical, sometimes because a partner suggested it. Most find that talking, and being properly listened to, helps more than they expected.
No fixed method, no script
I work integratively, which means I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic and other approaches, depending on what’s most useful for you.
In our sessions I’ll listen closely, gently challenge you when it helps, and work alongside you on the patterns and habits you want to change. Clients often tell me I have a good memory for detail, and I’ll bring something back from a previous session when I think it will help.
WHY WORK WITH ME
I understand the pressure you're under
Alongside my counselling practice I’ve had a long career in business, and I have an MBA from the University of Glasgow. So I know the world a lot of my clients are working in, and the kind of pressure that comes with it.
Clients describe our sessions as calm. Everything we talk about stays between us.
