Hi, I’m Mark & I’m glad you’re here.
Relationships are complicated. People are complicated. And sometimes the most honest thing you can say is: “I’m not sure how we got here, but I know something needs to change.” That’s usually where therapy begins; with questions that need to be answered, and with someone supporting you in discovering the answers.
A deep interest in relationships.
I’m a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and NCPS Accredited Relationship Therapist based in London, working with relationships and individuals across Kensington, Pimlico and Angel. Before private practice, I always found myself in roles where I was supporting people, and working with relationships and dynamics has always felt natural to me. People are fascinating and unique, and so are their relationships.
I bring structure and clarity to the therapeutic process without losing sight of the human beings in front of me. I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach because people aren’t one-size-fits-all and I understand what it means to carry identities that don’t always fit neatly into the world around you.
Deep and meaningful conversations that matter.
Couples & relationship work
My primary specialism, covering communication breakdown, conflict cycles, trust repair after infidelity, desire and intimacy differences, and the question of whether a relationship has a future.
LGBTQ+ relationships
My practice is fully affirming and inclusive. I work with gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer individuals and couples, and understand the relational dynamics and minority stress that can arise within LGBTQ+ partnerships.
Ethically non-monogamous & polyamorous relationships
I hold a Certificate in Relationship Therapy and a Certificate in CNM and ENM. I work with people navigating open relationships and polyamory, without the assumption that monogamy is the goal.
Desire, intimacy & sexual identity
I am sex-positive and kink-aware. Desire differences, mismatched libido, loss of physical intimacy, and questions of sexual identity are areas I work with regularly, without shame or clinical distance.
Individual therapy
I work with individuals dealing with relational issues. That's often making sense of a break-up, or a relationship pattern that needs to change. Sometimes it's an individual who's partner isn't ready or willing for couples therapy so we unpick what's happening for them and how they are experiencing things. Our world is relational, and so is the work of therapy.
Integrative, model by model.
For couples and relationships, I draw primarily on three main ways of working together; Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on the attachment bonds between partners and the emotional cycles that keep them stuck, alongside a psychodynamic approach that looks at the relationship as a map of the unconscious, as well as Imago Relationship therapy principles focussed on dialogue and feeling seen and heard. For individuals, I draw on humanistic and person-centred approaches, existential thinking, psychodynamic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), depending on what’s most useful. Sessions feel more like a real conversation than a clinical procedure; the work should be compassionate, curious, and challenging.
