Kia ora! I'm Mark. I use he/him/his pronouns. I have a strong belief that everyone can have a sense of their identity, regardless of their sexuality, where they can embrace their unique life pathway without judgment. I feel strongly about supporting the empowerment of women, I desire to create an environment of care and support for male clients who struggle with the notion that they too can express their vulnerability, sensitivity, and empathy. As a gay man, I feel I have a history and depth of experience to understand the different challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ people, as well as other societal minority groups.
I offer an accepting, curious, and non-judgemental environment. I believe the goal of talking therapy is to facilitate self-exploration for my clients in an attempt to heal and make sense of difficult situations, emotional states and relationships. I feel strongly connected to a humanistic approach to counselling: a client-centred therapetic relationship.
My practice is intentionally flexible. Some people find a standard weekly session useful. For others, longer sessions, less often, is best. We can discuss this together. I am open to the fluidity of change. I will work with your needs and offer my advice on how we can work together.
