Background and approach
In sessions Marcus listens for what matters most to each person. He helps clients spot thinking patterns that make problems worse and then practices new ways of responding. This is paired with homework tasks and short experiments people can try between sessions.
People come to Marcus for a broad range of concerns including parenting strains, sexual identity and LGBT issues, anger, sleeping problems, obsessive thoughts, panic, workplace stress and feelings of isolation. He also supports those working through adoption, fatherhood issues, divorce and attachment-related worries. Marcus aims for a collaborative style.
He values clear goals and practical steps, and he encourages clients to bring their own strengths into the work. Sessions focus on what will make day-to-day life more manageable and meaningful.

How Marcus applies CBT online
Marcus uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practise different responses. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and is often useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking and low mood.Sessions are collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and daily life. Together they set clear aims, try behavioural experiments and agree simple tasks to do between meetings to test what changes help.
Online work can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, letting people choose what fits their routine. Video calls are similar to in-person sessions and suit longer therapeutic conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support or when someone prefers written reflection.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments and to keep momentum between sessions. Marcus will discuss which format best matches a person’s preferences and practical needs before agreeing a plan.
