Welcome to From The Chair Counselling

As individuals, we can all be weighed down with emotional difficulties, and feel like we have nowhere to turn. A counselling session would be the ideal place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement and discrimination. 

My name is Mark, a qualified counsellor with a Level Four Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling who can provide you with a safe and confidential environment that gives you the opportunity to express how you feel without any worries of judgement. No matter whether you would like to have online counselling sessions or face to face sessions, here at From The Chair Counselling I can provide a professional service for an affordable price. 

In our sessions, you will have the opportunity to discuss any difficult and confusing feelings you are experiencing. I will listen to you and gain an understanding of what triggers certain behaviours and explore any beliefs you may have about yourself. This can either be in the comfort of your own home with my online counselling sessions, or face to face sessions in the office, so you can have the reassurance that you are in a professional, confidential, non-judgemental environment that you are comfortable in.  

Here at From The Chair Counselling, I incorporate various styles of counselling into my sessions. This includes CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), where you can recognise certain patterns of behaviour in yourself and obtain an overall understanding on how you respond in different circumstances. Another approach is Person-Centered counselling, where I will gain an understanding of your experiences and the emotions, feelings and thoughts you are going through in this difficult time. I also incorporate psychodynamic techniques where I can help you understand how the past is affecting you in the present. 

To help you understand the counselling process, we can arrange an initial FREE twenty-minute phone assessment to discuss your goals, and what you would like to achieve with your experience of online counselling or in-person sessions, while answering any questions you may have. Your first counselling session with Mark will also be free, giving you the chance to decide whether he is the right counsellor for you.  

Take a look at our recent client review:

Before starting therapy, I was suffering from frequent panic attacks, anxiety, and depression for a number of years. My mind felt like a tangled mess of negative thoughts and emotions, and I had convinced myself for many years that I didn’t need therapy. Taking the leap and starting therapy with Mark has become one of the best decisions I have made.

Through a combination of talking therapy and CBT, Mark has enabled me to see the negative thoughts and beliefs I was holding on to, what past experiences were contributing to these, and helped me to work through them.

I am now free from the frequent panic attacks, appreciate myself more, and I am proud of my achievements. I now feel a lot more confident in myself and moving forward in life. Thank you Mark! 

This is your time to reflect and explore what you are going through. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, grief, lack of self-esteem or any other emotional difficulties, you can be confident in knowing that I will be able to support you through these challenging times. I can provide you with a tailored counselling approach in a safe and confidential environment, where you have the time and space to understand your thoughts and feelings, which would stay confidential between us.
