About Mark
Mark Palmer is a counsellor who trained in person-centred counselling and has three years of practice. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, low self-esteem, stress and life changes. He also understands ADHD from his own experience and uses that perspective to relate to clients who describe racing thoughts or feeling overwhelmed.
In sessions he listens closely and follows each person's pace. Conversations are focused on what matters to the client and on practical ways to manage day-to-day struggles.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating life themes. People come to him for a range of concerns, including depression, addictions, career worries, parenting strain and coping with separation. He also supports work around attachment, communication problems, guilt, isolation and body image.
The aim is to help people gain clearer thinking and steadier coping skills. Mark works remotely from the United Kingdom and holds BACP as his listed credential, which is shown here as supplied. Sessions are held in English and offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs.
He believes change happens through a steady, collaborative process. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. This approach helps build practical plans and clearer next steps for everyday life.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel heard. It suits those who need a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and make sense of their experience.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape current reactions. It can help with issues like attachment, relationship habits and underlying feelings that return in different situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and test what helps best based on your needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are made together so the plan feels realistic and manageable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need quick, on-the-go support. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
